LOL!
Crusader Scott!

Love your blunt way about offering solutions or dismissing stuff some people say. You do have more knowledge about this stuff than most of us. Some of us are just saying we want a USB port/SD slot so it can be easier to watch our movies/mp3's on the IPAD.
Glad you wrote what you just wrote because I have been using itunes the last few years and have been able to do everything I need using it. I just bought a nano and I was trying to copy mp3's onto both my devices and I couldn't do it. I returned the nano. It ruined my itunes folder I now have 2x mp3's and a lot of my apps are doubled.
If I have a question about itunes and all the other apps , I will seek your advice. Good info. I know from your standpoint, you like the IPAD the way it is and of course you are gonna be open for IMPROVEMENTS in the future.
p.s. You are probably reading some of our messages the wrong way, for a lot of us , we need to be convinced this is good device for us, so we voice our concerns, and then have to weigh if we can live with it or not. Sometimes the people who seem most against it, are the ones who are most interested in it, or they wouldn't be in rooms like this. Make sense. You may be reading it as "bashers", but you could be listening to the voices "in their head". You know, this side "wants to like the IPAD" and the other side "finds ways not to like it".
