> Notebooks and netbooks offer tremendous flexibility via the USB ports. There are USB thumb drives, external USB hard drives, USB webcams, USB headsets, etc. A USB port—along with the right software and drivers—would greatly extend the functionality of the iPad, and enable business professionals to use it for a variety of purposes that it can’t support without them.

Apple isn’t going to put a USB port on the iPad. Ever. Stop suggesting it. And stop suggesting that the iPad needs “true multitasking” and an SD card slot, and a removable battery.
That’s what cheap Chinese knockoffs and netbooks are for.
