that would be my main moan if I were ever to succumb to the temptation of getting an iPad (or getting my wife an iPad... I'm married you know ) for surfing or media watching just because it IS cool and I can.
On the other hand, I thought you could get some sort of USB adapter?United in diversity !!!

Apple probably would add $200 more for a USB port in next year's iPad.

Instead of building in two industry standards, users are forced to buy extra items with their new iPad. It’s not like the these standards are large and would take away from the oh-so-important design.

Did you read my post a couple of posts ago as a reply to airshifter? I've been working as a web/graphic designer and video editor for the past 8+ years, and in this tenure have worked for print and media publishing companies in India, USA, UK and France. While some did have Mac as options mainly for video editing on Final Cut Pro, the majority had PCs for pretty much everything else.
Reason? A good quality Mac costs a fortune, easily $2000 +. For that money, you can build a MUCH powerful PC. And what do design software suites like Adobe CS need? Not a better looking computer, not a slicker OS, but better hardware to take care of rendering needs. In India it is easier and cheaper to hire system and network maintenance guys, who know what they're doing, and so PCs hardly ever have any problems. That's also why a lot of online-offshore graphic design companies are able to keep their rates low and see a huge number of clients from all over the world.
Anyway, not that this going around in circles isn't fun, like you said, the GP pre-show has started. Lewis and McLaren for the win!

From the article:
So it seems that the iPad is designed to milk every last penny out of buyers. You see, having a flush-mounted SD card slot would allow consumers to get away with buying the 16GB model and increasing the storage themselves. That’s clearly not in Apple’s financial favor, but it’s not like anyone expected Apple to look out for the buyer anyway. This is a dealbreaker for me.United in diversity !!!

Can I just mention that Siri is a useless pile of complete crap?
