Is the screen supposed to turn on when you pick it up? Because mine does not. It also never goes dark .. well every once and awhile it does but not very often.

The screen goes DIM (never "dark") when it hasn't seen ANY motion or vibrations for a few minutes.

BTW, some of the hardware features did change through the design / manufacturing / testing process.  And as posted, there were multiple versions of the hardware.  The final change was adding IR emitter into the remote itself and upgrading the Android OS version that provided a little better battery life.  Some of the documentation (spread across many forums, websites, Kickstarter description etc) didn't get all updates.
It's always a balancing act of what can be packaged, at what cost, within what timeline to target a certain customer group that needs that feature at a price.

So which list is the definitive list of hardware features then?

The list on the Kickstarter is probably 90% good.  When the system is stable and the current customers are able to use what they have in hand, then we can look at the marketing tidbits.
