Isn't the point about usb or an sd slot on something like this not that you use it constantly, but they are bloody useful when you do use them?
Incidentally, if the 'baseline' did include either of them meaning you had to get the connection kit then that means the ipad doesn't hit the $500 target either, so again it all comes down to what features you value the most and what compromises you are willing to make, for many people the ipad has that balance just right and there's nothing wrong with that.
