I was a little disappointed that there was not more RAM, but this explains why!

Yes, RAM was the only disappointing thing. However testing has showed that performance increase over v1 is significant, so where the v1 was often marginal for many tasks v2 should be more than adequate.

Just hope some of the solder pads are for an external antenna.
