unless there is oodles of power i would prefer ARM for app compatibility.
will this be able to use OVI, and if not where will we get our commercial media/apps/games from?

okay, I try to answer the questions (I'm not working at neofonie, or WeTab GmbH).
First here I'm showing how fast the WeTab is booting (thanks to MeeGo, with Ubuntu this was not possilble) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Oy-st6q5DA
Then the questions:
"if its going to use x86 i would prefer it to use a dual core atom."
Yes, it uses an Atom (which is the x86 platform) but no dual core. The hardware is already finished, and there will be no changes to another CPU or similar. The hardware is built by Pegatron.
"unless there is oodles of power i would prefer ARM for app compatibility."
as said...
"will this be able to use OVI, and if not where will we get our commercial media/apps/games from?"
No, as this is no Nokia device. However you'll be able to install Android, Adobe Air and normal MeeGo apps. Also there will be the Intel AppUp Store afaik.

Can do Android apps. (Then at least it has some apps to download)
Does flash.
Has open office (According to one reviewer)
Can work in heat and sunlight.
All looking that much better.

As far as Android concerned - is this an approved Android device - in that will the device have access to thr Android Store - or will it be via .apk's only ?
Since Android is in a VM, I am guessing it wont have access to Android Store - again conjecture on my part.

The VM is not installed yet.
But sounds logic..
Anyways, who wants "java-apps" on a 11 inch screen when it is possible to run Qt and native linux apps?

What 3g frequencies does it operate on?
Will it operate on the U.S. T-mobile 3g frequency?

Android is included as a VM.
Heat: You can use it in direct sunshine on a hot summer day without problems,
And, in direct sunlight (or even outside daylight), how visible is the screen?

battery life: depends of course on the usage. count with 6 to 8 hours surfing the web over 3G or WLAN.

I've posted an article on my site (http://meetmeego.org) about the WeTab (in German).
You can read it here:
