... and there will be other limitations in the apps. I don't know all of the hardware specs yet, so some of this I'm just guessing at. However, I think it may lack:
GPS, Camera(s), Magnetometers, Accellerometer, NFC, Proximity sensors (although the speculation earlier in this thread was that it might have a light sensor), Don't know about a microphone.
Anyway, the point is that app's that rely on these sensors would not work.
