Misc
It can run Firmwares up to 1.692 but once you pass 0.996 it can NOT downgrade to lower firmwares anymore!
There are no SMI strings in idstorage! The sliding feature technically acts as a button press.

It is confirmed that Sony did many mockups for testing button placements and general design via developer interviews. An example can be seen in the initial setup video of Firmware 0.990 where the buttons are clearly not functional.
There is a theory that this unit is just a DEM-3000G/H model with an overlay test casing:
