I agree that there should be a USB port on the thing, but I don't lie and argue that USB connectivity is absent from the thing like you do. You're just a hate-filled FUD monger at this point.

Does it disrupt your own life if we go worship at the Apple Store ? Or religiously watch every Apple Keynote address ? Nobody is forcing you do do any of that. The Church of Apple does not mount jihads against Linux. And we both share a common enemy: Microsoft. There is no reason for Linux zealots to spend so much time questioning the validity of the Church of Apple. And since OS-X is based on Unix, both our religions share a lot at the core even though belonging to the Church of Apple costs more. When Google produces a big Android pad to compete against the iPad, do you really expect the members of the Church of Apple to come to your newsgroups and bash the product left and right and insult any one who buys them ? No. Why can't you do the same for the ipad ? If the product doesn't fit your needs, don't buy it. nobody is forcing you to buy it, nobody is forcing you to convert to the Church of Apple and become a devout follower of our god, Steve Jobs.

Less chances of it being crushed when you sit down, less chances of someone stealing it while standing on a bus, and easier for your hands to take in/out of pocket when it is a front pocket. Has someone contacted Warren Buffet to find out is Bershire Hattaway will start to make work shirts with a large enough breast pocket to carry the ipad ? |
