You do realise that the asus transformer has no usb ports as such on the device, but only on the optional docking station, do you ? If we are trying to help users here, we should give the right information too. The lack of usb port might explain the 50 $ difference in the US, but here in Europe you can find the iconia 16 gb version on amazon for 399€, the same price as the asus transformer 16 gb, both without docking station. An asus docking station will cost you 140€ more.

I keep insisting on the usb port because it is indeed quite useful and there is no way I would go for another tablet à la Ipad that would not offer me the possibilty to access my bigger files (if not stored on board). I need the versatility, and for over 400€ I think it should be a serial spec on all tabs.
