At least there is an eithernet-to-usb connector sold as an EDGE accessory, although I don't recall seeing user reviews of how well it works.
Considering the iPad's lapse with a dedicated USB port and making people pay $29 extra to make a USB connection possible with the adapter that's part of a camera kit, it's nice to see one on a serious device :-)

It'll be interesting to see how effective that ethernet to USB willl be. It should work fine if it works at all.

On my small Samsung netbook I have 3 USB ports and a dedicated Ethernet cable input. But it doesn't have two different interacting screens :-)
