It is good that this is being considered in perspective, and I agree with this prioritisation. Most other devices do not place as much emphasis on all of these points, so I acknowledge that they may be faster as a result. What I am trying to do is get a general idea of the capabilities of the XO-1.75, relative to something that is already available and known. This is more for communications purposes than engineering/technical ones.
