There is a lot of avionics for homebuilts. I don't think you would gain anything by integrating a tablet computer into the panel, though it would probably save a bit of money.

The main application for tablet computers in the cockpit is to display approach plates, or run a VFR chart. But you won't be needing approach plates on a homebuilt (except in an emergency, I guess).
