Wah, the Full USB Port is like the ones we have on our PCs? With it, we can do a lot of stuffs on the "Antares" But apart from that, doesn't seem very unique, and its definitely going to be pricier than its rivals because its a Tosh  |

Hmm, the USB port can really come in handy at the very least, it's cheaper than Xoom, and has 3 different capacity to choose from... it's the only 10" in the market to come with 8GB ROM only... I can get my own keyboard for it  So, what's your say on this tablet bro? Or are there still better ones out there? Toshiba has been teasing the world with this tablet for quite some time already, I hope its up to expectations |

imho i will go for Transformer + Keyboard combo... the Transformer keyboard is one of the most useful tablet accessory i ve ever seen... 16GB is the sweet spot for Android now (from my experience on original Galaxy Tab), and microSD dun cost a bomb anyway... and Transformer (without keyboard) is also one of the cheapest tablet in the market now...

16 hour (apparently) battery life with the keyboard sweetens the deal all the more.
