Note that the USB config also changed, was 3 ext 2 int 1 otg, now it's listed as 3 ext, 4 int. So I guess the 4 vs 2 int comes from the reserved wifi/bt, not sure where the otg went.

... I got a little followup from the Touchbook folks...

Unfortunately the Touchbook will have no native HW developer program (i.e. subsidized devices for developers/hackers) "due to the current economic situation". There will be a software SDK, however, for the device, which will be apparently released later in July.

I hope at least reviewers receive theirs so we developers can see (and hopefully drool) how the thing looks when released

Oh man, I'd be highly disappointed if I couldn't get my review unit.

It's cheap enough that I can't imagine needing to have a subsidized version, really.

Sorry ? You've even got SmartQ5 developer programmes and that thing costs 130$. The N810 didn't cost all that much more than the touchbook when launched and also had a fairly extensive device program (for what it's worth). Besides, cheap is a category relative to one's pocket.

In the demo vid I mentioned before you can see at around 4 minutes that there are 2 accessible internal USB slots. One is already used for Wifi.

That's got to be one of the smartest statements I've heard in a while.

Is it just me, or does the "enter" key in the production model pictures look kinda old school...?
