Question about
Power failure between docked and undocked state
Say for example you attempt to undock it and suddenly there is a loss of power or the battery dies. What happens to the data and which OS and storage becomes the primary? Will a copy of the data be spread across both?
Does it have a synchronization process between the two specifically for the data?

Honestly I think the tablet portion is just web based with minimal use of apps so there is no data to really speak of and if there is it will be most likely stored in the cloud. Which would make it accessible on both ends. If it does share data I imagine it will be limited.

You probably have learned all this by now, but I'll explain it anyway.
Like what was said in other threads, the slate (tablet) part will run a version of Linux, for web browsing, and when the slate is docked, it will run Windows 7. The base station part (keyboard section) can almost run on it's own, you can actually have it hooked up to another monitor while you have the slate part undocked, if you would like.
An example: While the slate is docked, in Windows 7, you kick off some long process or large download. You can then undock the slate part and start browsing the web in the Linux OS. Some time later you want to reconnect to the base station, you can leave the browser open in the Linux OS on the slate, and the system will synchronize the browser in Windows 7 to pull up the web sites you had open in the slate. I believe the synchronization is only in one direction, from the slate browser to Windows browser.
I am user 251 that "wants" this product. Sounds amazing if it all works to plan. I look forward to its' release.
