I did discover that if you hold down the buttons while powering up, you get various things. Holding down search gets you diagnostics, history gets a calculator, and random is some sort of serial communications screen for a port that is not easily available.
This may be the information people want/need who intend to hack the device.

I just got a replacement for the first unit (with the page load bug) - this one has problems with the on/off switch. I'm getting the feeling this product was rushed into production, or that the folks that invented it did not get deeply involved in the actual manufacturing process.
You may need to go through several swap outs to finally get a model that functions well.
