Thanks I look forward to reading additional replies.

Adoby: Thanks for the terrific post, I will definitely look into a Wifi repeater.

Ken & Kenny C: I will check out that review, thanks for the info

jgray: You've given lots of good information. I haven't seen the 10.1" Galaxy Tab yet, but it's high on my list of contenders.

ddtavian: I'd appreciate any comparisons you can give. I've had about 5 minutes with a blackberry playbook. The Source here tells me they will be getting a bunch of tablets for fall, & setting up a dedicated display for them, but they couldn't say just yet which models they will have. Based on past history, I would assume that they will have the Galaxy Tab (they already have the 7" model) the Playbook, possibly the Asus model, & the Acer model (as they sell other acer netbooks & laptops). All they've said is that they'll have a bunch in.

Thanks to everybody who has posted so far. It's been very helpful in being able to set my expectations for the performance of a device. As USB & SD capability appear to be scarce in the tablet world, and unless this changes, I'll have to change my expectations and look into work around offerings. I've heard of dropbox, but I have no idea at all what it is or how it works, so that will be one of the things I look into.
