I really want one of these new tablets but I need an SD card slot. I want to be able to take it from my camera and throw it in there to view the pictures without having to load them through a computer. anyone know of any that has that slot.

If I'm not mistaken, most Android tablets (Motorola Xoom, for example) have an SD card slot, whether or not they work is another question. Honeycomb is "supposed" to support SD, at some point. The 3.0 version was iffy, 3.1 should be better. Even my Nook color (e-reader / hackable tablet ) has a SD slot.
