Weren't the "room to spare" rumours quashed when the production devices appeared? It turned out the voids were where the comms hardware goes in the 3G versions.
Bremen makes a good point, but wishing for something that may be just out of reach with current technology doesn't invalidate the wish.
It's perhaps also worth pointing out that the Dell Streak gets a micro SD slot, micro USB port and
two cameras in a slim 5" format, so we can hope that well-featured 10" devices with full size SD and USB won't be too far away.
