 Jim -
 
 Thanks for the tip about the USB problem. 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.
 
 Cheers,
 
 John

Careful if ordering the touch screen. It is not available with the View  Anywhere (bright) screen.  This is a must in the aircraft.
We just ordered a new one and almost made that mistake.
Also be careful with the plug-ins to the USB ports. Both of our ports  went bad due to the constant flexing of the cables in our lap. The USB's  are mounted on the mother board which is a layered board and the solder  joints cannot be repaired. As soon as you get the Motion make sure you  get a USB hub and mount on the back of the Motion. Don't plug anything  that is going to constantly move into the ports on the computer.
