Thanks for the info.  I'd definitely want the SD card slot - ability
to copy stuff to/from is good.  Either SD or microSD.

Preferably ability to plug in or bluetooth connect a keyboard to go
with the on-screen.  micro USB to USB to sync with my computer is also
desired.

I've thought about the Toshiba Thrive - full size USB ports, powered
(so I could plug my movie HD in and watch movies) - but it 's heavier
and thicker than the Samsung Galaxy or the Asus Transformer.
Tradeoffs ;\
