I love my iPad. However, why wouldn't I want an sd card slots? Sd cards are cheap -- I'd load up a set of cards with movies and tv shows before going on vacation. If I had that option. But I don't.
BTW, the iPad _is_ the alternative. You can get a netbook, or a cheap laptop, or a tablet, or an Archos -- all existed before the iPad. They are not alternatives to the iPad, the iPad is an alternative to them.
Tired of the monochrome, slow paging world of the eInk reader? Try the iPad as an alternative.
Tired of netbooks that do everything your laptop does -- only slowly -- and your needs are only web browsing, email, music, movies and the like? Try the iPad as an alternative.
Love your iphone or other smartphone but wish you had a bigger screen? Try the iPad as an alternative.
Not happy with trying to run windows apps on a tablet with a stylus.....wish there were a tablet with a huge base of apps all designed to run by finger? Try the iPad as an alternative.
What there isn't YET -- is an alternative to the iPad that is all the goodness that the iPad is at the things the iPad is good at. The android tablets will be coming out later in the year and they will be alternatives that are far more like the iPad than today's netbooks and tablets.
