The iPad doesn't have a USB port either.
The iPad really is just a large, over-priced iPod touch. Apple is charging a $300 premium for the iPad over an iPod touch with the same memory. Granted, it's a larger display, but that's most certainly not costing Apple an extra $300 per device.
It will only run iPhone applications and iPad applications, nothing else.
"With the ability to connect an external drive and SuperDrive for DVDs and CDs, there’s little reason to carry huge media files on the tablet."
When did the iPad gain those abilities? Did I just miss that in Jobs' presentation?
