So you have learned by now that the useless toy "iPad" actually does not
have USB ports (only has them when connected to the Connection Kit)?

Why oh why did you claim otherwise just hours ago, against all supplied
links? Was it your inbred utter stupidity, your belonging to the apple
cargo cult, you being a brainless fanboi or was it a combination of all of
those?

Just out of curiosity does this actually mean something or have some

yes it can. the ipad can multitask, including playing music in the
background, checking email, receiving push notifications at any time
and more. the limitation is in running third party apps, but since the
apps generally save state, switching between them is essentially the
same thing as having an app switcher.

windows phone 7 can only run one app at a time too, but of course, you
don't hear anyone bitching, do you.

bunch of hypocrites.

German newspaper "Bild". German weekly magazine "Der Stern"
And they weren't the only ones

Are you serious? There are a series of pins on the iPad connector that go
directly to a USB 2.0 chip (or circuitry on a larger chip that conforms to
USB protocols). USB 2.0 IS implemented in the iPad, the only thing that is
not on the iPad is a standard USB connector. For that you need an adaptor. I
believe that this is a mistake on Apple's part and the device should have a
dedicated, standard USB port on it, but it doesn't. If you had phrased your
criticism that way, I would have agreed with you. But like most Apple haters,
you just had to twist the truth to make it look like the iPad doesn't support
USB AT ALL. And you Apple haters wonder why you're so disliked when you post
to this NG.

Look who's talking. An Apple hater who lies to make things look as bad as
possible for any Apple product.

And liars like you will never admit the depths to which they are willing to
sink in order to paint the objects of their hate in the darkest colors
possible.

The irony here is so palpable here, it feels like an elephant sitting on
