Would be nice to be able to perceive the form factor right away. It looked like a credit card sized device to me at first, and only after I scrolled all the way down to the picture of the device in use in Africa did I find out that the thing is quite big (which is what you'd expect from the features the thing has, but it's strange why the site starts out with a top down view of the thing that makes it seem like it's 1/10 the size it really is)

It's interesting that you thought it was so small at first. I've been talking to a number of people about the size over the last few months, and the most common reaction is, "I thought it was bigger". For some reason our early photography left the impression that this was the size of a shoe box or car battery. In reality, it's about the size of 3 stacked iPhones.
We've got some pictures with it next to computers and on top, or near, other "stuff". That was the idea we were going for in that top header image on the site anyway.
