Yes, except then one has to build a file system. Or an app for a file system. (I'm betting they do, if for nothing else but to sell the adapters).
That's a great example, except that 99% of cameras use SD cards and I've actively advocated that addition.
And then promptly said Apple's Macs operate in the same way: only being used how Apple wants them used. Another way to shoot down that quote is to use jailbroken ipods/iPhones.
You'll see me in this very thread saying it's a) not living up to the hype and b) isn't where it needs to be.
However, once again, you immediately say it's a PoS. It is most certainly not a PoS. Is it where it needs to be? Absolutely not.
Apple could never have knocked it out of the park. If they put 1 USB port, people complain there isn't more (See Macbook Air). People would have complained about the lack of a physical keyboard (and still do). As for how it stacks up against netbooks, well, that's pretty subjective. I view the whole category of traditional netbooks as worthless. The iPad at least crosses into a better category.

And yet we have 1 vote for no USB and all the rest for it, hmmm.
Though I guess we should wait for Apples replacement for USB, even though super fast USB 3.0 is now coming up...
