Very cute, but if you're thinking about buying a new Android tablet today, I'm not. I'm certainly correct about 7" tablets, and with 10" tablets, the next closest option to the Transformer Prime is the Tab 10.1, and at this point it's oldballs.

I have a 10" HP Touchpad that I converted to Android ICS. Other than the camera not working it is everything I could want in a tablet. I'm no computer genius and I was able to do the conversion by following along with a youtube video.

I got mine for $99 during the fire sale last year, but I occasionally see them for ~$200.

Get the keyboard and you have USB capability.

If you're waiting a couple months anyway I'd hang out until the holiday season and see if the ClamBook delivers on it claims.

I like the idea my phone powering a dumb device with a large screen and keyboard. That way I don't need to upgrade the Tablet and the Phone on the same hardware cycle. Or be tied to a company specific combo like the Moto devices have.
