Thank you for the article - I'm quite happy that you went into so much detail about our chip. But no guesswork necessary; the datasheet is being finalized and will be out very soon. Personally, I hate it when companies don't put out datasheets, so I will not do that to anyone else. Most of your points will find answers there.
But a couple of important ones to address:
1. The chip you see in the photo and in all our press material is indeed a QFN64, which is a prototype only. The intended package for the chip is a 144BGA, and that is the first one that will hit the market. We are also trying to work out variant packages, partly for different price points.
2. Like the datasheet, reference designs, application notes, downloadable software and SDK, devtools and other goodies being worked on and will be made available in the coming weeks.
PS: I'm cross-posting this on your LinkedIn, so that anyone who finds it there will also read this context.
Shaswath, nice of you to respond to Shree's post. Wishing Mindgrove all success. On naming, Indian languages and Indian history offer so many options. Garuda, Pushpak, Vajra, Konark, Lumbini, Kanchi etc are a few names that come to mind. Happy to help with naming.

PPS: Yes, I'm horrible at naming things. 🙂
