The iPad thus far, and like my iPhone, pleases me in many practical, technical, aesthetic and emotional ways. I find these things a nice "fit" within my life. That is sufficient.

I'm surprised that you wouldn't want, or feel the lack of such a basic component as USB (knowing that you take photographs and the iPad might have served as a great way to preview those photographs out in the field). I think USB has to be the most glaring omission from this whole device, and I can't see any technical, or even marketable reason to leave it out. A lot of the design decisions Apple took on the iPad absolutely baffle me, from interior (using phone components such as their A4 which are rumoured to power the next gen of pods and phones) to the overlarge black bezel (surely the programmers could make a full screen smart enough to differentiate between wanted and unwanted gestures).
Next stop, Asus with wireless HDMI, massive hard drive, plenty of usb ports, and swivel screen so it can act as a tablet
