no USB port to be able to easily copy files to/from seems a bit detrimental to pro usage, as well as no way to connect an external display for presentations.
This said there are plenty of use cases for a larger ipad with a stylus, I am sure it will be a very successful product.

All current iPads have a dongle for HDMI out. And they can output to Apple TV. Do you think they removed that for this one? Despite the cute size and gorgeous screen I still haven't found a great use for the iPad. edit: Just looked at the dongles available. There's both USB and SD card input and VGA output as well the HDMI I mentioned.
- asdtgy 11y ago"let's make everything a dongle"... that is to be expected from Apple ... or being completely unavailable... and stick to proprietary ports...
- robotresearcher 11y ago"let's not make everyone carry around the cost and size of the ports they won't use."
- icebraining 11y agoI suppose that's why Apple devices are so much cheaper than the competitors.
- robotresearcher 11y agoYep, you can find cheaper products with more ports. Go buy one and be happy. This one is the mindshare, design and profit leader, which is why we're talking about it.

- WorldWideWayne 11y agoMost people are comparing it to a much more capable product.
- asdtgy 11y agoUSB should always be available ... for emergencies and other purposes
- jonknee 11y agoYou can use an external display with a dongle or wirelessly through AirPlay Mirroring (if you have an AppleTV on the other end). People have been using iPads to do presentations for a long time.
