Well, there are two main category that does sound correct to me.

1st
Google Mobile Functions
Google Search ™, Gmail ™, YouTube ™, Google Maps ™, Google Talk ™,
Google Calendar ™.

There aren't any Gmail, Youtube, Gtalk nor Calendar apk that come
along with the SDK, so where do we get that from?
(I have been wondering for a long time how/where can we get these apk
to use on our Android device.......since they are not provided by
default.)

2nd
Video formats supported:
MPEG2 H263, H264, MPEG4, AVI

I don't think Android support these formats by default either and
there aren't any video player included by default. So these aren't
exactly correct.

"Media Libraries - based on PacketVideo's OpenCORE; the libraries
support playback and recording of many popular audio and video
formats, as well as static image files, including MPEG4, H.264, MP3,
AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG"
http://code.google.com/android/what-is-android.html

Last time I tried playing any video using a player build on Android's
media player, no video really plays except 3gp files. So, I don't know
exactly what MPEG4 or H.264 would Android work on......because all the
mpeg4 encoded avi doesn't seems to play nor files with mp4 extension.

3rd
Memory
256 MB On-board + 128 MB Flash

I just spotted another mistake.........is this 256MB ram + 128MB
flash? or 256MB flash + 128MB flash?  256MB flash + 128MB ram????
Either way, it is way too small since everyone knows we can't install
apk on SD cards yet!!! nor in the short to medium term...............

microSD™ card expansion slot
Doesn't support SDHC? so what's the point?

Personally, I would avoid Kogan and G1 until they fix this mess or a
better alternative is out.

4th
for those ordering NOW, remember Kogan previously said it will be
available by Christmas? but now they say dispatch by end of
January.....
Do you think they are actually able to supply the unit by then?
I wonder......since not even a single photo of the ACTUAL unit is seen
YET......all they have is computer drawn graphics........(We have had
a mock-up of the such photo for many months now, although we have not
release it to the public because the product is not ready yet...)

Please correct me if I am wrong.
