Asus Eee Pad Transformer...16GB / 32 GB, no USB until May....

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer only has four ports: audio / speakers; mini HDMI; a built-in SD card reader; and connection the accessory keyboard docking station (another $150).

So if you want a USB port, you'll have to wait until the docking station keyboard base is made available...in May.  Then again, good luck finding an Eee Pad Transformer, as they're sold out online and at brick and mortar stores.

This makes the Asus Eee Pad Transformer exactly like the iPad.  Acceptable or fail?  Looks like most people aren't troubled by it, seeing as it's sold out.

32GB version is listed at B&H for $499, but is also sold out...or rather, it is in insufficient quantity, such that as soon as they get stock, they are shipping out to pre-ordered customers by order of request.

I hope this creates pricing pressure on the WiFi-only Xoom.
