Well, provided it ha a usb slot that will take a card reader, I can live without.

But virtually everything has a SD card reader now. I make a point of only using devices which take SD cards. It makes life a lot easier when everything uses the same type of memory card.

I don't really use XD now due to it being an old camera, the micro SD never comes out of my phone and CF is on my DSLR, which is pretty much the standard for that so...

Agreed.

Damn you, Sony.

Just looking at my Dell the SD card slot also takes MS.

Obviously having no external storage interface means you must pay Apple a bazillion dollars for a couple more cheap internal flash chips if you want more capacity.

I wouldn't want a card reader to transfer things, just one for extra storage. But then apple have never included a card slot. so this is no different to Iphone.

When is someone going to get one and do a video review of a release model.

They said the non-3G version would be shipping within 30 days of the announcement.

I'm still debating if I will use an ipad. Although I've got some annual leave booked for the end of March, so this could well end up being my new toy to play with during that week!

Have any other companies announced/previewed any iPad apps they're working on since the conference?
