#2Is it U2F only or can it also do some of Yubikey stuff like storing GPG keys, etc?

First version will be fido2 only, thought the firmware is open, so easy to extend.
We'll just have to verify which features are copiable vs proprietary for yubikeys. To be honest I don't know at this point, I mostly use my keys for auth, rarely otp, but no gpg/ssh/etc.
Do you have any primary use case that you're interested in?

It's an upgrade to a part that used an ATECC508A crypto chip and an 8051, so presumably not.

#5What processor parts will this be using?
A major benefit of the Yubikey U2F parts is that they're almost indestructible. I've heard over and over again about how flimsy the Feitian parts are, and from people who have run over their Yubikeys with cars and still had them work. How resilient (in particular: waterproof) will these be?

Of two U2F yubikeys I own, one of them has stopped working when touching it, in less than 2 years. I don't know about other companies, but my personal experience is that they are not that long lasting.
(I have them alongside my keys; one is a NEO - still working - the other is (was) U2F only)

The one in the pictures uses a EFM32 Jade/Pearl [1]. More details are in the discussion on github: [2].

That's a better MCU, but aren't they using a secure element to store keys?

Secure storage of GPG/SSH keys preferably 4096bit, so I can have offline "cold signing"/emergency keys that are valid for a long time.

#10What's nitrokey's status regarding fido2 ? I know that their current open source products don't support it, but they were planning to add it.
