No, USB is obsolete. The iPad is supposed to connect wirelessly.

Apple is allowing competing bookstores to put their apps on the iPad.
They are allowing enterprises to develop their own apps and download
them and update them directly to employees' iPads over wi-fi and 3G.
They are introducing multitasking this fall. And if you really need an
old-fashioned, obsolete USB port because your IT team is still stuck in
the 20th century, you can have one.

Rich is generally 100% wrong about everything. I doubt that he is able
to get his shoes on the right feet.
