Hey Milo, why did you leave the fact out, that the A500/A501 come with Full size 2.0 USB ports? When most of the rest don't? Considering it allows one to connect USB devices, .Like an external HDD, and other USB devices. And yes, you can conect a 1tb HDD quite nicely using Drive Mount for example.
Just seems strange you left that piece of information out of your comparisons. Why? The specs have been out for almost a year.
In otherwords, I will beat this dead horse, until the mechanical specs are honest.
