In the iPad's current form, it is useless.
If it had a file system and easy drag and drop for loading content, I'd want a USB just to have an easy way to get files on it. I'm always using USB hard drives and flash drives to move files from my office desktop to my laptop.
I'd like the same functionality in whatever tablet I end up with. But as the iPad lacks a file system and drag and drop support (and probably always will) I don't see that much use for a USB port either.
But it's still super prevalent, and all that matters is the present. Especially for gadgets like tablets that I'd be replacing every 2 or 3 years anyway.
All that matters is currently some sites won't display properly, some video sites I use a lot (and would want to use on a tablet) won't work etc.
In a few years Flash may be gone, but that's moot in the present and I wouldn't still have a first gen iPad at that point anyway. All that matters is that it doesn't satisfy my current browsing needs.
