USB Flash Drives : not found one that doesnt work yet tried 4 of various ages
USB Hard drive: only got one and it usually needs power from two USB ports. But it works fine as well!

When I remember Ill try the USB DVD drive Ive got.

Only tricky thing to remember if the right mouse button is "Back" not menu!
Ooooh... THAT's one I'll be interested in seeing! DVD's! WHOO! I wonder if it can be made to boot OS's off of DVD's? I wonder if a USB hub will affect it in any negative way? So much stuff I'd want to do with it.

We converged on the Mobilread site and at least we can talk to other losers there. That would be another option if this site closed, though I would prefer a low-censorship site, and whoever runs that one seems like a quick to stomp on forbidden commentary sort.
Oh God! Yeah! That was a one-day Woot deal! So it's as dead as a Maemo already?? Incredible... I was considering one of those. How hackable has it turned out? I remember reading that it was rooted and potentially pretty hackable. It so, it'd still be a worthwhile thing to buy dead manufacturer or not. I agree, though, I'd prefer a low-censorship site. I wonder if XDA would open up a forum for it if there were enough requests?

I must say, the Eee Pad Transformer is a contender. If I were looking for a 10"er it would be a close call between the Galaxy Tab and the Transformer. If I needed a keyboard dock, the transformer would win hands down.

What do you like most about the device?
If I didn't already have a Dell Mini and a Galaxy Tab, I would have DEFINITELY gotten one by now. On the other hand, that 10" size is just a smidge too big for portability. I can't stress that enough--clearly I can't say it enough times, too. I love it otherwise. I would STILL get it if I knew that I could run a native Debian on it. Make it happen, Asus!
