I'm relieved to read that the keyboard issues have been in the meanwhile fixed, all the keys are now consistent when pressed. Pity about the spacebar, but I guess I'll get used to it. There are software issues under Android (which I expected), but they can be easily fixed in later updates, what's important is that the hardware works, since that can't be updated without resorting to a product recall.

PS: I just *love* this comment on the article  https://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/2/20...s_on/#c_3433471
