I have been an "Apple Fan Boy"for decades, and Apple's Ipad and IOS keeps getting better and better, yet I will never buy an iPad for three reasons:
1) Unlike the iPod, GPSs, many phones, and most portable electronics, the iPad never shows up on the Mac desktop. This means one cannot easily copy text files or notes to the iPad, or do any other drag and drop desktop transfers. While this can be accomplished, it depends on 3rd party software, and is just to clumsy.
2) No USB port, this also means you cannot copy files easily. (Similar to # 1 above)
3) There is no way to make text entry/editing corrections easily, their software just has a pop-up with select all or copy; my opinion is that when a user clicks in the middle of a word or sentence, a new pop up with a magnified view of the text string with a big blinking cursor, and arrow keys to move the cursor within the string of text would be so much better.
And the new iPhone has no audio jack/port, what is Apple smoking?
