In fairness, they were reasonably OK WRT providing the GPL based code so far. I certainly hope the update will be arriving soon - it would make life a lot easier with a few things. >>>> Further, the only way to eccelerated graphics on it is using the nvidia >>>> closed source tegra xorg driver.

That's really a negligible problem relative to the rest - a number of keyboards come with a built in USB hub with an extra port.
