Supposedly the internals will be pretty much identical to the plastic one.

Best to wait for a newer batch come January or so.

Here's a live spyshot from I saw from padbbs (well it says do not copy, but...):

what are they going to do with the ones with issues? repair? how do we know we are going to get a fixed one? did the seller tell you about the issue?

I am going on a trip to EU next week, but I will be looking hard when I return.

Just ordered this tablet...any known issues? Also I noticed it does not come with android marketplace. I was using Slideme on my cruz (that I took back) but I would love the android market any suggestions.

From my reading...

Known issues include video playback, speakers keep playing with headphone plugged in, and screen orientation. Most of what I've seen is positive otherwise. Plastic casing is a fingerprint magnet.

Is there a place on the web I can find the link for the firm ware update? I have the rubberized case style which I really like, I just need the android market. So If I can get the update and run it, mine will be everything I have been wanting it to be.

Thanks for the help.
