From his tweets…”TB is very tipsy. Can’t go past more than a few degrees and it goes over when connected to keyboard.” = Design fail :(
Yep, that’s a major flaw. I guess you could get a metal desk. :)
Yep, it’s disappointing. I’m not going to bash the device. That serves no purpose. It’s just not for me.
I do want to see where this goes with respect to the software, though my person opinion is that the focus should be on Android and not on another implementation of a linux distribution.
You picking up a few followers on Twitter? :)
I read in their documentation that WPA is not supported. I’m wondering if a near future release will support WPA-personal. I posted that question on their help page.
A couple of swing out supports or better yet a light weight sliding panel on the underside of the keyboard unit would add stability. Add a hand shaped slot and it could act as a handle.
