2. The one following the Cordia Tab has updated hardware?

While me and many others would like to support this project, there doesn't seem to be too much of a point if all we get is an outdated machine running open source software that may not have a future. However, if this can lead to a device with beast specifications then many would see it worthwhile. Would Smoku (or someone) be willing to work on device with customs specs?
We have already started talking about the GEN2 hardware. I hope to be able to go to the Open Hardware Summit on Spet. 15 where I will have the GEN2 in the back of my mind.

Generally, I think we would like to have a physical form factor similar to the N8x0 or Dell Streak 5, but of course we are at early stage and things change. I would not hold out much hope for "beast" specifications if you mean the latest and greatest CPU, GPU, super hi-res display, etc. Open source is the first priority for Cordia project which necessitates some tradeoffs.
