tally up the sizes of every file on a typical user's hard drive and
very few, if any, will be in the 300 gig range. how many netbooks even
have 300 gigs of free space?

what does that have to do with an ipad? nobody is going to do 300 gig
render on an ipad.

nobody is going to do video production on an ipad either.

To use USB3 speeds, you forgot to mention.
You can plug in USB2 cables as well. And get USB2 speeds because the
additional USB3 wires are not present in USB2 cables

If apple did that, OxRetard would be over COLA all over again spouting
fanboi drivel how extremely well it can connect to the outside world.

You know, about the same every cheap netbook does now, just better


Face it, cargo cult member, you have shown so far that you guys are just
extremely badly informed fanboiz, devoid of any grasp of reality.

And you will spare no idiocy to defend apples imbecile decisions

i didn't forget to mention anything.

which defeats the whole advantage of usb 3, not to mention that you
have to replace existing external drive enclosures too.

All the info I can see says that the 7D is still CF. The 1D can use
both.

The 550D is SD

That fact that you two even mention this is more telling of your own
stupidity. You find removeable storage useful to move data around!
Wow. Einstein move over!!!!!

Kelsey Bighead still misses the fundamental reasons WHY the standard
port is not there on an Apple device.

And THAT is, in itself, VERY scary and indicative of why she was unable
to understand why 8 gigs on a "phone" were useful to many.

Funny how in some cases lots of storage is good. In others its not. (And
that was to simplify it for Kelsey as you CAN use external storage with
the iPad).
