Default Alex Android-based dual-screen ebook reader by Spring Design

Ebook reader apps for Android have been in the Android Market for some time now, but we've yet to see a production ebook device that uses Google's open-source platform. That could change imminently, however, with the unveiling of the Spring Design Alex ebook reader, a dual-display slate that has a standard 6-inch E Ink panel up top and a second, 3.5-inch color LCD touchscreen underneath, while Android runs the whole show.

Sounds nice depending on the price.

Wow.

That looks pretty amazing.

Does/will it have a USB Host or OTG port, so you can hook up a keyboard and take notes that way?

What about some form of video out (DVI-I, DVI-D, VGA, Display Port, etc.) so that it can be hooked up to a KVM switch?

Last, since it has a nice big screen, can it be used with non-mobile web sites? Like real Google Mail, real Google Reader, real Google Docs, etc.? Or is it going to use the mobile browser that's the default with Android?
