Idiot. >regardless of cost. the ipad is also not premium priced. Yes, it is. >in fact, people were surprised that it didn't cost *more*. Did you forget the word "some" in front of the word "people", Apple fanboi? Like many other Apple products, the "cost to purchase" is subsidized by expected sales of applications and media. I recently bought a Dell Linux netbook with a 1.6GHz Atom processor for $240. Oh, and it has USB ports (and an SD-card slot).

Oh, and it has USB ports (and an SD-card slot). great. what does that have to do with an ipad? the fact that you think the ipad is some sort of netbook replacement is why you don't understand that the lack of usb ports makes no difference in how a typical user will be using the device.

USB ports would be "good to have" on the iPad. Stop apologizing for Apple's customer-hostile designs. |
