iPad2 - What is still missing

iPad2 was launched last week with Steve Jobs doing the demo to much fanfare.

Yes, it finally has a camera. As a matter of fact it has 2 of them. One front and one rear facing. Thumbs up.
It has a dual processor and is said to be much faster than its predecessor. We're also told that with all these news bells and whistles, the battery life is the same.

So, what is it missing?
SD Card slot - If I am on vacation and I only want to take my iPad and I take a ton of photos and videos with my camera (not the one on the iPad) I am going to have to wait to get in front of my laptop/computer and load them onto my iPad via iTunes. FAIL

 USB device- Give me a USB device and I can live without the SD Card slot! I can also, plug in my keyboard, or any other peripheral i want, but no, this is not there! FAIL

4G - Apple has shown that they are cutting edge and ahead of the competition on a lot of things, especially in the past decade with the iPhone, iPad, iMac....etc. So why not have capability to get on the next generation network  4G?

I think Apple purposely omits these things so that people feel it necessary to buy the "next one." There really was no excuse for the original iPad not to have a camera (or two) but people still bought it - and they bought way more than the analysts could've ever imagined. Apple has a very strong following and these people (sheep) will defend these decisions, but in the back of their mind wish they got all the trimmings.  I don't like this practice that Apple subscribes to, but hey, it works and they are making billions of dollars doing it.

Final word
I held out on not getting an iPad because I wanted to see if the iPad2 would have the camera(s) SD Card/USB and I not a fan of getting generation 1 hardware. I learned my lesson on the original iPhone....well now I know whats on the table,  I will wait and see what the competition does, but I will be getting a tablet sometime in 2011 and probably upgrading next year. (just like they want me to)
