Hi Bill,

I bought the Thrive - mostly because of the discounted price - and have fallen in love with it. I also have an iPad, which I have been very happy with, and therefore didn't expect to like the Thrive as much as I did. One of the things I like the most, is the full size USB port. It has added a level of utility and convenience that I no longer want to be without.

This makes me wonder if they are made for different customers. I certainly hope so, because when it becomes time for a new tablet, I'll be looking for one with a full size USB port!
