I'd rather a thicker device which has those ports (which I think does explain the thickness a bit) than one without them. I'd especially miss the USB ports and SD card reader.

It does seem that choosing either is a trade off!
If you need USB and win 7 then this looks a nice machine.
if you want longer battery and dont mind apples UI/OS then the iPad looks a nice machine.
One reason why I wouldnt choose any tablet running win 7 though is demonstrated in a video here from poor finger usability to slooow boot time -

The rest of the time he uses the stylus to move through those far-from-finger-friendly Windows 7 menus. If you're wondering why Windows 7 still needs additional software tweaks to work on a purely finger-driven tablet device, spend 10 minutes watching the video below. Or just listen to The Weepies' awesome "Gotta Have You" -- which perhaps not coincidentally ends when the tablet's done booting.
