Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a tablet (any tablet). My basic requirement is as follows:

I need to be able to transfer data from a card reader (Compact Flash memory) onto an external HDD. So i would require two USB ports.

Is there any tablet out there that would fulfill this requirement? Is a netbook a viable option in this regard when it comes to portability/battery life? Is there a tablet which has two USB ports and can detect and copy data off a Card reader onto an external HDD?

Any suggestions?

Nakul. I don't think you can get a quality tablet for 15k. You better look for a netbook. Just wait a bit. Newer AMD processor based netbooks are being pushed into the market and they are much more powerful than Atom+ION based netbooks and gives better battery life.
