the Flash thing i understand, and I'll wait to see how that plays out, but why does it need USB?? It's not like you're gonna plug in your digital camera and try to upload pictures to that first.. the power adapter IS a USB cable so it transfers everything from your computer via USB.. i fail to see the need for an actual usb port on the device itself.

add a camera to that, then I can see people using skype on it.
400 dollar netbook blows this thing out of the water. I still don't know one advantage that it has over my ipod touch.

What if you are running off of AC and need to plug in a USB device?

No USB port - For a device that claims to be perfect for almost anything, it is sort of sad to see it lacking a USB port (and when I say USB port, I don’t mean the pin connector). To me, simply adding one standard USB port would increase the functionality of the device in a great way. For example, with a USB port the iPad could plug into a disc drive and enable the user to watch videos via a physical disc. It would also make it much easier to import images from cameras instead of throwing down more money on an adapter. But most of all, it could allow Pages, Keynote, and Numbers documents to be loaded and saved to a USB drive and more easily shared with others. Instead, they now must be e-mailed around the cloud if you aren’t near the computer to which they sync.
No Cameras - While I’m sure we’ll see this in a future generation of the device, I was disappointed it wasn’t included in this one. With such a large screen, a front facing camera along with an app for it would be perfect for video conferencing. Furthermore, while it would be a little awkward to hold the whole device up to take a picture with a camera on the back, it’d be nice to have that decision. This could, for instance, be useful when adding a contact and wanting to take his picture for the address book. Furthermore, simple video editing could be made extremely fun and easy on this device if it had the ability to take video clips.
No HDMI Out - For a device with such a gorgeous screen, it seems as if you wouldn’t want to send the video it is playing somewhere else. However, HDMI out would be nice for those occasions in which you do need to do that. Since you can’t play video through a disc drive (it doesn’t have one), the only way is through stored files. It’d be nice to have a way to view those simply by plugging the device into a TV as well.
Still No Flash - While I know Apple claims that Flash can make browsers unstable and kill battery life, it should be on the iPad if it claims to be the best mobile browsing experience. Apple could’ve at least made it an option in the Settings.app to turn on or off at our discretion if they really hate it that much.

Didn't Jobs say this thing was BETTER than a laptop? Can you please illustrate how it is better than a laptop if it has LESS function.

What I meant by AC is that the port would already be in use. Yes, you can just wait, but that kind of sucks.

What about if someone says "Hey - here, can you pull up this document and make a quick change for me?" Or, "Look at these photos I took!" Or, "Here's the PDF I've been meaning to give you"
Since you said earlier you could stop lugging around your laptop if you owned this, I would assume it could actually do the things a laptop could.
that's just me though.
