ElitePad 900 appears quite good with the specification that it is delivering but i don't know why they have settle without usb port, i mean most of us use usb thumb drive and wants to plug it directly for transferring files. No port is really silly, Competitors like Lenovo tablet 2 and ell Latitude 10 will beta it up easily.
