Please let us know what technical details you would like (and dont see on our website).

I'd like to see a list of sensors and output devices that it has (from the video I assume it has an accelerometer, gyroscope, 2 buttons, and a touch-sensitive strip, anything else? magnetometer? microphone? light sensor? speaker? vibration motor? LED?), ideally with precision/accuracy, sampling rate, and latency figures. Weight, battery life, wireless range and technology would be nice too.

Ah, after poking around a bit I found wireless range and battery life (though "1 day of active use" isn't very specific). These kinds of specs should be front and center in a list on your developer pages.

github.com/openspatial already documents the wire protocol, has sample code, SDKs for iOS/Android and an emulator.

We invested our time in making sure the SDK was robust and documented well for developers. We plan to add more technical documentation in the future. Stay tuned.
