iPad 4/iPad Mini

Even so, if this version is lambasted and ridiculed like Vista was, they won’t carry on down the same path. And if they did they would fail as a company and be ruined quickly. You would like to think they would not be that stupid...

Who in gods names came up with that idea? An iPad is absolutely horrific to write on. I mean, even writing with a stylus on my Galaxy Note 10.1" isn't as smooth and nice as writing on a piece of paper with a good pen. And what does it add in terms of educational value? Final question is of course who's paying for that stuff? I bet the parents are forced to buy an iPad? I would flip them off and take my kid to a different school.

So you've got a dongle sticking out of your iPad in order to use an sd card. Great piece of ergonomic design

Yes, schools are forcing parents to buy ipads or their children are kicked out.

There is also a cord sticking out of my ipad when I charge it...what a terrible design.

[Don Carlos]

Much less intrusive than those monstrosities though

That makes absolutely no sense. You normally don't use the device while it's charging. And like Donny said, that's still less obtrusive than the dongle.

Also, there's no real practical alternative to charging the device via a plug and a wire. There is, however, an alternative to using an odd SD card dongle and that's simply integrating an SD slot into the device. There's no real reason not to do that other than Apple's megalomanial form of control over the devices.

the point is, you plug it in for the short time you need it just like any other sort of usb flash drive or accessory

[plained]

those constant workarounds apple requires r to much work for people who now better!

hey that one is a pretty good troll no?

[MKJ]

not a troll, thats actually a true statement.

[plained]

technically isnt the objective to incite emotion tho ey ? hehe

Pretty sure it only works with photos and videos on cameras. I don't think you can pull a PDF from your USB flash drive. I could be wrong.

Still, if the device has an SD slot then you don't need to dickaround with a dongle that costs you aditional money as well. It also depends on how you use the SD card. I use the SD card as expanded storage rather than a removable storage for transferring files. In other words, I'm in constant need of the SD card or, at best, I would always need to carry the dongle around in case I'd need the SD card.

Either way, for a premium product like the iPhone or iPad, the absence of an SD card slot is a glaring shortcoming.

jesus, you're such a fandriod you cant even see whats going on here. Not sure where I was arguing that it shouldn't include extra ports. I simply educated you retards that there was SD and USB connectivity if you needed it. Its an ACCESSORY, complaining that you have to plug it in is a stupid argument. Maybe learn to use dropbox or the cloud if you dont like plugging things in?

Love these threads that instantly get filled with butthurt andriod fanboys. You must really feel threatened to lash out at a simple news announcement topic. No one here is attacking your favorite tablet.

I think you might be able to with filebrowser app. But im too lazy to try. I don't usually store much on ipad. I have some pdf books I transfered over wifi to ibooks via itunes. Also dropbox and icloud. Ive only used the reader to view some video and photos from camcorder and camera.

The nerds who want USB and a file system and an SD card reader are the same people who didn't get the iPad when it launched, didn't get Twitter, thought Flash was the future, etc. They're spectactularly out of touch and generally have no taste.
