As for actual IO, the keyboard uses USB 2.0 pogo pins. The keyboard doubles up as a pretty neat sleeve, which wraps the entire tab.

The keyboard may change significantly for the production model - although I hope that the key style remains as pictures. We tried 4 different key styles during the meeting and agreed that this works best at this scale. Two things I'd like to see changed: trackpad placement to be centered and physical buttons for the trackpad (although, this is not a biggie).

The tab itself has volume up-down rocker, a lock button, headphone jack and a camera in the back(which no-one will use) and a grippy plastic-rubber surface. The screen is quite nice too. The final model may have forward facing speakers.

Oh, I love it already! It will be great to start being able to experience the recent tablet-esque feature pushes like with KDE without forking out an arm and a leg.

Camera's in functional tablets I always find a bit strange. I have never used the front camera in any of the tablets I've owned. I'd imagine keeping that out of it would shave down a lot on the cost too, but it's always a democracy when it comes to this.

Completely agree with your view in that regard, and I love the fact you guys try and keep it as generic as possible so that bespoke drivers are not needed.
