She got hooked on the ipod touch and that’s what put the iPad into her head, so I probably won’t get a whiff of it. I might try it once or twice, though. Maybe. Just maybe.

Does the iPad or iPad2 have a USB2.0 port?

"What do you need one for?"
You're kidding, right?
Unless it has an SD card slot, I can think of a dozen reasons why you'd need one.

The only need I’ve had for one, is covered by the camera connector kit. The kit accommodates either an SD card directly, or for my CF Card camera; USB cable connect.
For any other reason, I’ve not had the need for one.

Yea, that must be it.
I’m sure the reason they chose to pass on a $.10 chip to add SD card functionality and instead sell a “camera connector kit” has nothing to do with the fact that if you could pop in a 32gig SD card it might impact sales of the “high-end” units.

From the article...comparing the design of the iPad2 to the:
"The Xoom tablet is trim, light, and very pretty ... but when you place it next to the iPad 2, it looks as though it was designed and built by angry Soviet prison labor instead of by Motorola."
heh heh
Wonder how the $799 Xoom sales are doing.

I wouldn’t mind an IPad but for reading they are horrible, I’ll stick with my Kindle.
