Tablets with expandable storage?

    Hello all,

    I am going to be buying a tablet over the next few days. Had my eye on the Samsung 10 inch tablet, but the storage issues freak me out. As in the most you can get is 32 gig and you can’t expand that any further because there is no sd card slot.

    My question is is there any other tablets out there that would be of similar standard to the Samsung one but with the added feature of been able to expand the storage with an sd card if need be? Also disregarding this one issue would the Samsung tab be the top of the range of all the tablets at the moment?

    The top of the range tablet at the moment is the Asus Transformer Prime (which has expandable storage)
    Although where its actually released is the confusing thing :/ Dates all over the place

    i have the asus transformer, it is 16 gb and can be expanded to 32gb with a micro sd card, if you buy the dock along with it that has a port for an sd card, it also has usb ports so you can connect portable hard drives to it , i find it very handy and i can carry my films and whatever i want around with in a small hard drive, i tried it the other day with a 1tb drive and worked no problem, do a bit of research on the net , the new model transformer prime is due out very soon too

    I picked up the Motorola Xoom yesterday for €349. It is 32GB internally storage and can take 32gb extra through SD card slot on the top ;)

    It has a USB port so I see no reason why an external drive cannot be plugged in to view media

    From looking up joint reviews of the two tabs really seems very little difference between the two bar the Samsung is lot nice to look at and a bit smoother. But the Motorola is cheaper and also can incorporate more storage, plus has a better camera.

    Hmmmmm think it may be the Motorola for me.
