Openmoko Inc itself has been out of phone business since May 2009, and it's probably unlikely that they'd gather a similar team in the near future. Of course there are multiple spin-offs from the company and from the Openmoko community.

German company Golden Delicious is continuing with the same Openmoko brand with their GTA04 replacement board (http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/). However, let them finish first what they're already doing with their limited resources, so that we've up-to date free mobile phone hardware ;)

As for tablets, one free tablet effort is http://cordiatab.com/

that Cordia Tab looks interesting.

the problem with most tablets is that there is no way (or no easy way) to install a new OS onto them.
