I wonder will any of the accessory available at the retail store on April 3.
Are you forgetting this is Apple? Everything is overpriced... I'm surprised people don't understand this yet.
Still disappointed neither USB or SD wasn't built it. Those accessories seem an afterthought.
If SD Card Support is SO critical that it required the removal of ExpressCard Slots from MBP 13s and 15s, why does this functionality require a special adapter in the iPad???
Can the old version of the USB Camera Connector be used? It looks exactly the same??
Don't believe for a second those accessories were an after thought, they are nothing more than a money grab.
Apple, you used to be cool. Selling a USB adapter instead of building one into the iPad? This is probably the biggest d**k move I've seen from them.

So a Bluetooth keyboard will not work? Was that always the case?
I'm also a little suprised apple would require/allow a dongle to plug in the bottom for camera connectivity and SD Card. I was hoping for a little less "bulky" solution.
Just Like a £65 Superdrive for our Wonderful MBAs![]()
Of course 'Rip-off Apple' would never build an SD card slot into the iPad (like everyone else is happy to do!) for fear of not being able to squeeze every last £ out of its customer base, forcing people to the more higher priced memory versions and/or of course, purchase of these adapters! Im quite sure they wont allow peoples existing bluetooth keyboard to connect either ... heavens forbid ... use an existing keyboard when you can pay for 2!!!!
If you are like me, you don't miss the optical drive. I haven't needed it on my Air. But that's just me.
Wow, non-one has ever realised before that Apple kit is expensive. Thank goodness you arrived just in time to tell us all about it. I was going to buy another Mac, but I think I'll go and pick up a Dell instead thanks to your enlightenment.
Do you peruse BMW and Mercedes forums telling them the same thing?
