There are 2 USB ports on the keyboard, none on the tablet. Looks great, just need some money now...

Funny enough, the promotional video shows a teen guy who makes girls say "w00t" because the tablet has a secondary battery and a touchscreen game. That's what we call "originality"

I'm sure a permanent short supply isn't the case, being that ASUS is a gigantic portable electronic manufacturer... but they better strike the iron while its hot... or something.
Sorry I don't have the link to the original article but it is referenced here, and mention made to Phandroid

ASUS ships the Eee Pad with a 40-pin ASUS dock to USB cable as well as a USB to AC adapter for wall charging.
I would find it hard to believe that with a female-to-female adapter that you couldn't mount a flash drive.

I ordered it in Canada Computers but it wont arrive for a week or two 
As for the software glitches ASUS said they fixed majority of them in the final product. Besides being an N900 owner I kinda willing to accept those issues
hehe unlike Nokia and Maemo , ASUS and Google will support Eee Pad and Android for a long time
Check out Anand's review posted by daperl Its really comprehensive and unbiased

Afaik no xda-developer has yet made it work.
So, let's hope the Transformer can do it, but I wouldn't bet it's either out-of-the-box or a quick thing to get.

The dock also adds two USB ports which you can use for USB sticks or external storage and a SD card slot.
Transformer: ASUS + Honeycomb
Galaxy Tab: Samsung + Froyo?
Slightly different animals.

One thing they got right (where the Atrix failed miserably) is the pricing of the docking station. $399 USD + $199 is much better than $499 + $499.
