Lol, It is weird but livable. I think the production units will be fixed though.

I'd rather keep the capacitive buttons.

it's not in the final stage. They may be using a model that used to run on GB but now that ICS is available the polished version I doubt will have them.

The current ics still does not support capacitive buttons thats why...and for this model i can't seem to find any hinge to support the phone with the tablet. I'm guessing that since it does not make sense if the phone needs to connect with the tablet through a wire, it should be using dlna or other technology to make the tablet?

Ics on the Nexus S uses its capacitive buttons.

Yeah it supports the cap buttons. The phone goes into....a small pocket so the phone doesn't fall out.

looks nice, looks damn nice. but i dont get why it needs the 3 virtual buttons on top of the 4 capactive buttons.

Apple probably owns the word "Pad" making this another delay due to the Cupertino Coward's egos..........
