Care to elaborate?

That link is a little light on details really, the USB issue is an issue with USB, and not really specific to Baytrail. 500ma is likely not enough to run the tablet, and shorting the data-lines is the standard way to signal to the tablet that it can draw more than 500ma, maybe USB3/C will improve this once we see more devices with that standard.

The GPS chips they put in them is a bit unfortunate, but not a showstopper for me.

That link is also 2 years old, has anything changed in this time regarding Baytrail devices?
