a few noteworthy points:
- the LCD panel is manufactured by TMD
- all keyboards are manufactured by NMB
- all units include a full antenna array, making future additions easy (UWB, WWAN, etc.)

good stuff. :)

Are stuff like keyboard still user replaceable? One of the early notes claimed they would not be. . .
