Hi Greg, nice balanced review. I have the Prime and love it. That too has balance issues when docked to the keyboard. I don't use it this way very often but have compensated for the lack of balance and it works great as a 'netbook' when docked. Having the extra battery life is brilliant

With regards to the lack of 3g, yes this
'could' be an issue, I have an Android phone and am able to tether my Prime to my phones 3g connection and it works perfectly on the go. I am pretty sure that 99% of tablet owners have 3g phones of one sort or another, so if mobile data useage is essential then they should all be able to activate a tether one way or another.
