Hi Dylrob

Thanks for opening this discussion.

One of my big gripes about the iPad was the lack of USB ports and the camera.

I am with MurrayPaul though, I reckon USB ports are not in the iPad future. When I was in Hong Kong I saw an (Apple) iPad adapter so you could transfer images from your camera to your iPad without needing the cable and to be honest I think this is the way it will go: if Apple do release something related to USB it will be an adapter that plugs into the docking port - ditto an HD SD card reader.

I wouldn't mind a secondary power only port - although not being an iPad owner I am not in touch with the convenience or inconvenience of iPad power.

A little more memory would be good and I reckon that will be part of the next gen roll out.

I reckon a 7' is a long way off given Jobs comments.

On the native app side I wonder if Apple will role out some native handwriting recognition app as well?
