If you have big websites you want to scroll through in a traditional way it also looks weird and laggy but if instead of somehow click pagedown and pageup on websites, in your code that you are coding, then it might be fine, it might be like changing pages on an e-reader.

Thanks @Charbax!
My problem with Android is that it is not suited to be an environment for any software development. You cannot install standard libraries, set up your IDE etc. It simply wasn't designed for this purpose. Hence if we would be able to install a Linux distribution instead/alongside Android - that would go a long way.
Of course refresh rate is critical also. I am not much concerned about mouse movement because when writing code you can accomplish anything with just key strokes, so called "no mouse development".
I would like to see how VNC would behave on this device but again, if we would be able to develop code locally and then run it on remote box - that would be much more productive and responsive.
All I am saying is that Onyx should try to opening to other markets with this device, because hardware is there. IMHO the market of software developers is much bigger than novel writers and similar; and we are willing to pay the premium price tag for a premium device.
