Where's the SIM(micro) slot? maybe that could be it? I know it may be a little weird, but.. Apple also shocked us when they moved it to the side. And there also seems to be another slot ontop of the iPad? hmm.. that.. I do not know!

Get rechargeable ones... that are environmentally friendly. Oh right. like the ones Apple sells... $30 for 6 batteries.... as expensive as the $30 SD card reader you suggested.
Jeez. You're on the web. Google this crap before you go spouting off nonsense.

Me too except I would like an additional dock port on the landscape side. I hardly ever use my iPad in portrait mode, yet when it's docked it's not useable to me as much as I would prefer anyway.
The iPad 2 needs an integrated laser pointer, it just seem essential for the business aspect.
When I'm presenting using an iPad it would be great if it had a built in laser!
That way you could point and present at the same time. I would be surprised if Dell isn't already planning on including this important feature.

SD Card Slot = No Sale
USB port = flexibility (with tons of EXISTING peripherals and thumb drives)
SD port = memory expansion ONLY
I like the idea of a curved back (in theory it should make it more comfortable in the hand) but maybe in real life you don't end up holding it very much and unless you are doing that, the curved back could be impractical.

I don't really need an integrated laser pointer.
I was just chiming in with my own absurd demand for the iPad 2.
I couldn't get any support for an eSata port so I gave up on that.
A modem (dial-up) is still the only reliable way to communicate in a power outage (POTS phone lines have separate backed-up power), when cell lines are clogged or when there is a broadband ISP or DNS outage. I was in the mountains during a fierce storm and the power went out in our complex of rich folks. They were really upset (whaaaaa), so I pulled out my battery powered PBG4 with modem, plugged it in, dialed up, searched the local news for the cause and estimate of time and conveyed that information to my neighbors which gave them great comfort while they waited almost 8 hours for a resolution.

I'm thinking it will have an SDXC card slot.
One of the other tablets out there, the Galaxy tab, has a micro SD; so I'm thinking the iPad needs to keep on top of everyone else out there. Plus the new Mac mini, iMac and Macbooks have a SDXC card slot which if Im correct can hold up to 64GB of information with the ability to hold 2TB in the near future. I feel that this is something that would be attractive to business users wanting to swap and share files easily; it just makes sense that one be included.

nice thought, but why on earth would you "cut the cord" to the computer, and then require a cord to hook up your iPad to your iPhone
New shape of the edges! That should do it for a new generation. Crazy pace for changes. Android is dead
No matter how hard you try here on MR, you always come across as someone, who shoots himself into the foot.
googles does not sell phones,
that links brings you to googles site but you have to buy from best buy.
The flat back would be a very smart move. The reasons are multitudinous.
Uh... what?
Surely you jest ...
Yuck! $69 for a keyboard that can only be used with an iPad? How about a $9 adapter that'd let me plug one of my many existing USB keyboards into the iPad instead?
Well this fool prefers wired peripherals when working at a fixed desk and this fool carries around a laptop with an integrated keyboard rather than dragging around an iPad, a dock and a keyboard with an extra set of batteries.
In fact, I wonder who's really a fool.
....well, only a fool would expect and ask for a touch-based display to operate like a notebook and support pointer-based hardware such as pen-tablets. the ipad is a touch-based OS and device, and is not designed to mirror functionality found in other OS & device models.
