I was personally very excited about the iPad when I first heard the rumors months ago. I thought this may be my first Apple product. After the specs were released, I was excited and disappointed at the same time.

If the device was missing an SD slot or USB port I would have to pass. It turns out it is missing both. Not to mention the hardware is locked, that too takes it off the table for me.

They did get a lot of things right though, but messed up the easy stuff. Maybe version 2 will correct these issues.
