I still don't see the point of flash drives yet. As for external input devices, bluetooth isn't enough? Printers are going wifi/bluetooth almost standard now. Digital cameras use SD cards so that would fit under my "I'll grant SD card slot" and cell phones I'm not sure why you'd want it, unless tethering and not paying for their cheap data plans (which would be less than tethering would run you.)

I'm not defending Apple's closedness - God no. But still, I fail to see the USB aspect of it.
