“App deployment over the BES is not finalized. The first version is a WiFi only version so no direct connection with BES but there will be tethering. No more details just yet.”

Odd since BES 4.1 SP7 allows for WLAN connections – you need to define the WLAN network specifics but its there.

Anyone else feel this is based on Nvidia’s Tegra2 chipset/platform? considering QNX’s strong efforts in the mobile industry and considering Audi uses the Tegra2 for their MMI system in all 2012 products being launched this late this year – its only a seemless fit.

I signed up for the webcast but had a conflict. Did they say that they were going to record the webcast and make it available for download?

judging from the given specs, i’d assume that the device will be good for 8 hours on a single charge
its battery life should land somewhere between galaxy tab and ipad’s
evidently longer than galaxy tab, slightly shorter than the ipad

the price? i wouldnt guess it’d be any less than 500 without a contract
and, obviously, what would you want this device for without a bundled data plan, no matter its 3G or 4G
so I’d say $250~350 would be quite possible
