I feel that Apple could have sold 5 or even 10 times as many iPads if they had decided to make the device appeal to technical users instead of just non-techs. They could have sold me one if they:

Added built-in SDHC card reader.
Added built-in USB port
Included a built-in file browser (with copy/paste to/from device with no restrictions)
Unlocked the hardware so you can install apps from anywhere.

One thing that I do like about the iPad is that it will generate many copy-cat tablets in the near future. Can’t wait to see what is coming!
