because we need a USB port?

  True - is it possible that they will allow digital cameras etc to be plugged in the way they used to with the iPod USB digital camera link? This was my first thought when they showed the Photos app.

    "The Camera Connection Kit gives you two ways to import photos and videos from a digital camera. The Camera Connector lets you import your photos and videos to iPad using the camera’s USB cable. Or you can use the SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from the camera’s SD card." http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/

      What about support for external DVD players, burners, printers etc... I would be put off if USB connections were limited to importing photos from a camera.

        It's not going to support arbitrary USB devices, no.

    They are making an accessory for the dock connector: http://images.apple.com/ipad/specs/images/usb_connectors_20100127.jpg http://images.apple.com/ipad/specs/images/usb_connectors_201...
