No USB Storage Support for iPad

ipad

I must admit to being an early skeptic on the potential success ofApple’s much anticipated tablet gadget, now known as the iPad. But I have to say after watching all the video on the Apple web site… it looks really, really cool! The notion that I could use this device as an e-book reader, a very slick web browser, and sweet sized photo viewer is pretty compelling. One of the things that really jumped out was the quality of the video – nice! The very next thing that occurred to me was to make sure it had a USB port to enable easy connectivity to my FreeAgent Go drive where I store a bunch of high quality photos and videos.  My bubble just got burst! No USB support?  Are you kidding? OK, I like the entry level pricing and I might even be able to live with 16GB model if it only let me easily move content to and from my USB drive!!

Charlie Sorrel from Wired was really hard on the iPad’s shortcomings. He came with 10 things it lacked!

I’m a bit more optimistic, but curious to see what the folks at the Apple store say about the USB issue. I can’t wait to get my hands on one….
