radikal's pick
I've got one too, and I love it. I can type pretty fast on it in landscape orientation, not so much in portrait. It is kinda heavy but is in roughly the same weight range as an Ipad. I don't have one here to compare it to. Build quality seems great to me. No creaking or panel gaps or anything like that.
I can plug a flash drive into the USB port and it works fine, although the device doesn't do anything when you plug it in. It mounts the contents of USB devices under /mnt/usb_storage.
I installed mobo player from the android market and I use that to play h.264 and xvid movies from a USB drive.
Also, battery life is excellent so far. Definitely enough to last for a working day or intercontinental flight.
I'm looking forward to the android 3.1 update that's due in the coming weeks.

How do you feel about the build quality of the device?

Does it feel heavy? Can you actually type at a reasonable pace (e.g. IM chat or replying to email)? Do the ports work without any configuration - can you just stick a flash drive into the USB port?

I found that using a third party app that splits the keyboard works well, also the Acer Bluetooth keyboard is critical when writing more than a sentence or two.
