IPad has 1/2 the features I wanted in 2008

admittedly, Apple has figured out a better way to implement the other half than I was thinking of when I wrote this.

Things they left out that I'd REALLY like to see:

- SD card reader (or other removable storage) and yes I know there is an attachment. I'm pretty sure it only works for photos.

- Camera

The Stuff they left out (and were right):

- USB ports (this is arguable, but I think that usb ports are just asking for trouble. if you're going to follow a strategy of complete control in exchange for reliability and quality, forcing everyone to use a proprietary port is probably a good idea. Whether their closed-system strategy is good/bad/right/wrong is a different conversation

- All those buttons: less buttons is better... I was an unwashed heathen in 2008
