Never used or seen one myself, just going on what they said in the PC 
Pro article.  I think it doesn't help that lots of articles are 
comparing tablets against iPads.  As is often pointed out on here, most 
of us have totally different requirements to most users.  For example I 
found the connectivity options for iPads and the Samsung Galaxy Tab to 
be quite poor.  Which is why the Archos tablet with a proper USB port is 
quite attractive.  Pity it doesn't have 3G, but as you've got a USB port 
you can put a dongle in.
