Your conclusions are that of a hydrocephalic reptile, dipshit. Tell me, can you walk and find you distal anal sphincter with both hands at the same time?

The reason for the lack of a USB port is not because of content control. You can upload content through the cable that comes with it. It's not a host USB port, but you don't need a host USB port for uploading content. What they don't want to happen is for the iPad to end up in the vertical marketplace with all sorts of USB peripherals plugged into a host USB port. It would be an ideal platform for a _lot_ of vertical applications if it had a USB port where you could connect scientific, health care, and other peripherals; it's relatively inexpensive, and it has excellent battery life and a good display. The last thing Apple wants is the iPad ending up being used in commercial and industrial applications with software being loaded onto it via conduits other than the apps store, and with no prospect of selling content like books, movies, and music. Imagine the iPad as the base unit for digital storage oscilloscope, a health monitor for home health care (blood pressure, diabetic testing, etc.) a mobile retail terminal with a bar code scanner, etc., all things that current (and expensive) Windows based tablets and UPCs are now being used for. Unless someone gets really creative, is able to get true multi-tasking working, and is able to somehow get a host USB port, the iPad can't be used in ways that Apple doesn't want it used.

Nah, the best advice for someone wanting an iPad is to shut up and buy one and enjoy it. When HP releases its version, you'll be telling us to wait for Apple's response, and anyone dumb enough to take your advice will never get one. -- David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan
