The higher display is nice,
but I wonder how programs will behave,
which use the display directly, e.g. games, graphics progs...
The OS had to be rewritten in some places to handle the new display boundaries (at least the constants had to be changed).
And for the numeric resolution: Maybe the host CPU can handle the extended resolution, but in the 4x OS the would have been many places to be adjusted...
And for the USB connectivity: Maybe there's a hardware layer which acts as adapter for the serial I/O software of the 49G.
However, it's much too late (or too early) to be an easter egg.
I can hardly wait to see (and maybe get) the 48GII+,
you know, the one with the real keyboard;-)
