SCNR
but i side with the 'macbooks don't come with headphones either'
and i'd put the iPad (even though it runs iOS) far closer to a macbook than to an iPod touch

Interesting. Why do you feel it's closer to a Macbook than a Touch? Is it merely the size of the screen?
Using this logic then future iPods, iPod touch and iPhones should't come with headphones.
They really need to start adding headphones. I use them everyday with my ipAd.
The iPad needs headphones way more than the iPhone does.
I think it's fair to say this because the iPad encourages you to indulge in all the media apps more because of the bigger screen. And I don't know about u guys but my family doesn't really want to hear everything I watch on iPad when we are in the livin room watching tv.

wow, you seem to think Apple can do no wrong and that we, as mere consumers should just wait with bated breath for anything apple puts out and buy it without question and with mindless acceptance. from the tone of many of your posts, we should let Apple decide what they should give us with the ipad. we don't know any better and apparently don't have the right to expect more.
i'm waiting for one of your posts to say that you've petitioned the Vatican to proclaim Steve Jobs was a saint. oh wait, i just remembered...you can't do that yet until Steve is dead. but i'm sure you've got that letter all ready now at a moment's notice.
the ipad is one of the most successful tech devices because of its versatility, its features, and its timing in the marketplace, not because Apple decided not to include earphones as an accessory with the tablet.
it would have been nice for Apple to include a pair.
i commute to work in NYC each day and i use earphones along with lots of people. the distinctive white and gray of the Apple earbuds are everywhere as lots of people have ipods and iphones. i accidentally left my only [apple] pair behind in the hotel room on the last morning of a ski trip. had to buy a replacement pair when i got back to the city.

I personally never use the apple earbuds that come with there mobile divices, they suck. I have the Bose QC 15's and they are incredible.
@Wingnut8: go red wings!
Mostly I use headphones (w/ a built in mic) on the iPad so I can do video calls. Just like I don't use my cellphone on speakerphone mode, I don't like dooing video calls with the speaker. For this reason I see the combo headphones as being useful. They could have included these especially since Apple advertises the front facing camera to be used with FaceTime.
