Seems to be two submission of the same url: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8623131 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8623131 Didn't think that was possible.

  the current one has a "/" at the end. So they aren't the same url. (I checked using FF inspector, otherwise hard to notice)

And with the USB3 Type C connector. AFAIK it's the first major device maker to make the move.

  USB 2.0 TypeC

Nice Drupal site.

It's nice to see tech specs mention the audio chipset and codec package. In this case the Wolfson WM8958E. I've tended to avoid audio on phones and tablets, preferring dedicated devices with better chipsets. I'd love to see mobile devices start competing on audio quality (as opposed to loudness of crappy speakers).

Atom CPU. Is this the first mainstream Android Intel device to ship? Does anyone know if it comes with the Play store?

  There are literally millions of Atom Android tablets out there already, including all the last generation of Galaxy Tabs from Samsung.

  Samsung Tab 3 10.1 was also Intel-powered.

  Dell Venue Android tablets are also Intel powered. To the user it is completely transparent, through Dalvik/ART, cross-platform native code, and transcoding. Intel is very well supported by Android.

  I've got an Asus Memopad FHD 10 that's running Intel; it was about $30 cheaper than anything similarly specced last Christmas, and I've been generally pleased with it (although system updates tend to break Hangouts for a bit, which I blame on the uncommon platform).

Maybe people in more fortunate locales are seeing something different, but based on this page I wouldn't say that the table has been "released". This is just a "coming sometime" site, and I can enter my email at the bottom to be the "first" to know about something. (I assume that emails entered here are sold to spammers. If I actually did find out about availability, say 24 hrs in advance, this might be worth it, but is there any indication that will be the case?)
