I need to be able to have my entire media collection with me at all times so I can read, watch movies, listen to music without any dependence on any kind of network connection. I am often away from my computer and must be able to get content on/off the tablet with no computer or network connection.

the movies, books, photos, music, etc. sound like something you'd pre-load onto the iPad already anyway. even the largest iPad (64 gb) would only hold about a third of my media library, but i can't imagine a time when i would ever need it to hold even a third.
as for loading things without any network connection... that sounds like a very specialized purpose. i'm guessing apple wasn't considering that, since its meant to be connected to the internet almost anywhere, there are so many different ways to connect and transfer files.
