Since you can get a complete tablet for so little I think you know you won't beat the price of ready made units.

The question about how folk make software is they learned programming then learned more to create more things. I suggest you learn about the Rasberry Pi since it's a good start to learn about small machines. You can even add a touch screen to that!

I just bought the parts from my homemade tablet and after a few electric shocks I made it and it only worked for 2 days it went down while I was playing gta5,that was due to heating I guess.

I started to make my own programming language and when its finished I will do an operating system.Its not that hard,and sell it to someone hopefully.
