who's trying to argue beside you

you want to know why some people would want a USB port ... i gave you a reason. Just because it's not enough information to meet your debate argument standard is irrelevant.

Apple meet customer
customer wants a USB port because it makes them feel good about themselves
so give them a fracking USB port

I'm sorry IJH, this thing is a PoS. I said it before and will say it again, Apple could have knocked it out of the park with this device, instead they half-assed a shitty open faced netbook.

oh wait ...... the asshats at apple didn't put a simple USB port on the tablet.

Sorry grandma, you'll be dead before we get a chance to come up to see you again ... you can't see the Disneyland pictures.

Thanks Apple for letting my grandma die weeping because she didn't get to see her grand kids at disneyland.



so Mr. Irish hawk ... is this enough specific information for you to understand how somebody else would want usb drive on the apple tablet?
Great, now I feel bad for laughing at your Grandmothers pain.

A more interesting prospect than USB is whether Apple will employ the technology they have in the Air that allows taking over of a computer's disc drive. That would allow someone to watch movies over it, transfer files, or potentially, install things.
Honestly man, this is the most reeruned argument i have ever heard.

Example:

I have 3.5 GB's of photo's on my PC that I would like to show on my new $400 Picture Viewer (iPad). I know, I will just throw them on a USB Jump Drive and trans.....ohhhh....wait.

****ing LAME.

Awesome.

And don't forget that Granny lives out in the sticks, outside of 3G coverage, and she doesn't have internet.

Yes, except then one has to build a file system. Or an app for a file system. (I'm betting they do, if for nothing else but to sell the adapters).

That's a great example, except that 99% of cameras use SD cards and I've actively advocated that addition.

You'll see me in this very thread saying it's a) not living up to the hype and b) isn't where it needs to be.

However, once again, you immediately say it's a PoS. It is most certainly not a PoS. Is it where it needs to be? Absolutely not.

Apple could never have knocked it out of the park. If they put 1 USB port, people complain there isn't more (See Macbook Air). People would have complained about the lack of a physical keyboard (and still do). As for how it stacks up against netbooks, well, that's pretty subjective. I view the whole category of traditional netbooks as worthless. The iPad at least crosses into a better category.

And yet we have 1 vote for no USB and all the rest for it, hmmm.

Though I guess we should wait for Apples replacement for USB, even though super fast USB 3.0 is now coming up...

Of course, let's put anything a majority of people want. If you want to see failures of that idea, see MySpace for the biggest one.

I use USB constantly. Let's not pretend its an outdated technology. Sitting in front of me right now, I have my iPod, camera, and phone all with USB cables attached to them, plus a USB drive plugged in.

Of course, the functioning of the iPad (and I still do giggle every time I say that name) lends itself to life without USB. If we had an OS X tablet, it would be essential. The iPad, just nice.

No doubt. And it's not outdated at all. I'm just saying that Apple's working on a replacement with Intel and essentially what you say below.

Exactly. I don't see how the iPad needs USB. If it was a fully fledged computer, sure. But it's not.

Except that it's then draining the battery of the iPad, which, in turn, would make people cry about battery life.
