Here is my list of complaints from that evaluation, which was obviously using a 600-series OS version.
- not traditional desktop metaphor - no tabbed browsing - flaky wireless - some bad machines: difficulty turning on and peeling mousepad. - flaky mouse - has a mouse instead of mouse-alternatives (?) - popup menus too slow - activity startup too slow - see address in browser bar should be easier (fixed) - hard to save to USB. *Should be accessible from within an activity.* - scroll bars too small, especially for subsidiary panes (interesting issue for grab key, BTW) I may have missed a few, but I think that most of these are either already the focus of effort (and progress) or have been decided against by many here. The one I bolded is I think a useful one: *why not have a "keep to USB" and "keep to SD" option in the keep dropdown menu in the activity toolbar*?
