That's not what was meant, it was poorly worded, I think you can guess what was meant...

I think 4.5" is just about snap the right size, even if bit on the largish side and resolution is better than on my N9 which is pretty good for me
When one considers industry progress for mid-end device displays in the 2yrs+ that would've elapsed by the time it's on shelves, res. improvement is quite poor, there's no shirking that reality.

I'd worry more about the display technology, colour brightness and purity, and the screen coating. (which all we don't know anything about yet)
This is true... I await further disappointments....

Again, it's exactly the same amount as I have on my N9, which is just perfect
N9 stood out for being on the aggressive side when it came to RAM, I was expecting the same tradition to be upheld.
It's not asking much for the price they're asking, especially since they've compromised so hugely everywhere else.

No, I am very impressed really now.
The extension bus being i2c, that's just wonderful.
When you compare USB2 vs. i2C the USB wins only on mass transfer speed. i2c is so much more versatile, it can handle stuff better on the lower layer and it is really simple to interface with own projects... this is truly a winner here.
And both power in and power out connections on the OH interface, just wonderful!
Cute.
I hadn't yet read more about the interface when I posted that, I admit to overacting too soon, it's still far from ideal.
But it's much better than I'd feared, & doesn't do enough (so far) off-set my disappointment of the total hw make-up/specs.
