It’s a tough sell next to my $400 netbook that runs for 8 hours, has a 250GB SSD on board and offers better connectivity.

If I really were in the market for a slate like this, I’d be looking at the Razer Edge with it’s dedicated GPU and game on the go, battery life be damned.

I am really interested in this device, and would like the product even more if it had two additional ‘specs’:

1. wireless charging (like the HP Touchpad and Palm Pre etc.) and..

2. wireless video (a way to get its video signal, wirelessly, to an external monitor)

…is 2. possible with some sort of USB 3 dongle?

Love gigaom.
