Also, say goodbye to any kind of a battery life when your powering all those USB hard drives.

True. It's not ideal.
I'm intrigued by the idea of these types of computers but basically, none of them meet my requirements. If I were to actually seriously look at buying one of these instead of just being at the point of kicking tires in a thread it would have to (at the minimum):
Have 32GB of storage or more.
Be able to get files from several sources (i.e. USB)
Have multitasking support
Obviously, none of these would meet those requirements out of the box. The android based system comes the closest by being able to increase your storage through other means. It looks like the iPad is missing some very basic features and I'm assuming these are being withheld on purpose for the release of iPad 2.0.
edit: of course there's other things that would be nice to have: very long battery life, camera, etc. but those are just extra bells and whistles.
