The latest theory is that there was something wrong with the air speed sensors. One of the automated messages that was received indicated that there was an issue with airspeed. The sensors were slated to be replaced.
One article I read suggested that without proper knowledge of airspeed it could be disastrous... if too slow, the plane risks a stall, if too fast the plane risks breaking up as it gets closer to the speed of sound (the skin of the plane is not engineered to withstand that speed).
Yikes.
