I see no mention of audio on your Kickstarter page or amongst these comments. Does the Superbook have audio support or does it use my phone for that?

It's in the FAQ, a bit hidden..

Here's a list of features that have been requested of us that we WON'T be considering for our Kickstarter model (but maybe in the future):

- Audio speakers (trust us, the ones on your phone are much better than any speaker we could source affordably)

Ah, that's too bad but I guess it makes sense. Would buy a "pro" version of this if it had a built in low latency audio interface or even just a DAC. I'm not sure if the Android APIs support such a thing, however.

A Bluetooth speaker is a fine compromise.

Not for realtime audio applications, way too much latency.
