Misc
1. Other non specific items ~ please add other items you require not covered above?

Either a USB port (to plug in a keyboard) or bluetooth (to connect one) or some other method of having a detatchable keyboard would be fantastic but isnt really essential.

2. Additional requests ~ anything other you wish to take into consideration?
i dont want one with a keyboard built in (physical), i probably wont be using it all that often its just something i would like.
cameras probably will recieve extrememly minimal use if any.
Wifi is a must.
3G isnt, i probably wont use it.

Would like to point out the reason why i want a tablet rather than an ereader is that a. i hate eink (it just buggers up my eyes, nuf said) and b. i mark students work which is in SO many differant formats that no ereader will support all of them.

really appreciate the help, thanks
