*note im kinda lost as to why some of the screenshots mention the MSM8960 SoC in the build/product name and stuff when its evident by everything else the APQ chip is the one in the device not the MSM...would think if the MSM was in there then the PR would of mentioned it too at least...so guessing thats just a mistake or way they went about naming it for whatever reason...

 

 

regardless im stoked to see the MSM variant of this by the time the next EVO comes out!!....have to keep in mind though that Qualcom is still the only one using 28nm so it will be interesting to see what the others show when they get down to that process level...

Reportedly, the screen is only 720p, and the body is chunky. For a consumer, the tablet would not be worth even half the $1300 developers' cost.

didn't even look at the thickness...or if it had expandable memory which id doubt...

 

more excited about getting that gpu and quad tech into an MSM SoC....their dev tablets are always nuts though with the things they toss on...ie the 13MP camera and 7mics lol

It does take microSD and supports USB OTG...
