In the comments, Arrington mentions that the final product will ship with a stand, and also have a USB, earphones, and power port. I guess you could set it on the table, plug in a USB keyboard, and plug it into power. Then again, now it's a laptop.

You can solve the viewing angle problems without having to adjust the hardware too significantly - what about adjusting the perspective of the window that you're using depending on the angle that the thing is being viewed at.

For instance, if someone takes out both viewing angle clips, chances are it's sitting on a tabletop, so the screen could adjust accordingly so people aren't having to crane their necks to view the text accordingly.
