What type of USB device should it be? The master controller or the slave
device?

If it were a master, then it could have such things as cameras connected
to it, but then the USB protocals wouldn't allow it to be connected to a
computer, unless the computer had a slave controller in it.

If it were a slave, then you would be able to connect it to a computer,
but not to a camera.

Unfortunately USB doesn't allow for any other type of device - it must be
either a slave device or a master.

So, if you are going to have a USB port, which type of device controller
should it get?

Why bother with USB? With USB 3.0 not due to be implemented in Intel
chipsets until next year (2011), and Intel developing Light Peak, I
think its probably a more prudent move for Apple to hold off a tad
longer, and possibly go with a Light Peak interface for iPads
requiring ultra high speed I/O bandwidth down the road.

What has USB3 to do with things?
USB2 is plenty fast enough for toys like the iPad

What the fanboiz don't want to admit is that apple deliberately chose to
screw their customers by closing that thingy as much as possible.

After all, their cargo cult members will defend every move of apple, no
matter how much it will cost them down the road

Actually, no, it does not
You need an additional Connection Kit for that

Just stop this outright lying, it just shows how desperate you fanboiz are

Well, cargo cult members will never admit how much they like to be screwed

Since you chose to simply lie, there was not much left "corrected"
