I have a Motion 1400 and like it a lot. However the USB thing sounds bad. I have not had the need to plug in any USB device into the tablet yet. I do have a complaint about all of the plug-ins. They are not very well situated for using the tablet in your lap. My power plug sits in the lower right corner and it is easy to bang it around. I actually had it come loose a few times because of the 90 degree angle of the plug. I can use the rotation buttom to get it elsewhere, however. This may also be the solution to the USB problem. Rotating it 180 degrees should allow for the USB devices to plug in to "the top" of the tablet.
