Very interesting. Although I have reservations about the build quality
and availability of this device.

I think it's VERY important that any future hardware choice is very
widely available,

I think it should be high end, but I think if it's overly rare or
limited in production then it's out.

Also, I wonder if there is a Linux implementation running on this
platform? Seems like it would help a lot.

Good eye!
