  • 1 USB host/otg slot ... instead of 2 or 3, and while it mentions mouse support, no mention of keyboard support.
  • No dpad (nor even a trackball)
  • Proprietary charger, instead of a mini-USB client charge/sync port


I hope they put out a 9" or 10" model that fills in those gaps (and maybe has a faster CPU).
I also wonder if there's any way to order it without the Windows CE partition (hopefully nothing requires it, like for activation, firmware upgrades, etc.). Being able to reclaim that for expanding the Android or Ubuntu partitions would be nice.
Your complaints are valid, especially the part about the screen. However you can't deny that this is probably the cheapest device of its kind. I'd say it doesn't have a direct competition at all.
