Knock knock...anyone there?
The thread title speaks for itself. Obviously I want apple to do something about it(if it's not another adobe situation). Stop making so many assumptions and make a bit of a constructive contribution..otherwise pop off. Goldfish stuff

Constructive contribution? Here it is: they're not going to do it. Move on

I think its up to u to move on!!

Thanks for the good input. Will give those a go I reckon. Not happy with the lack of USB obviously enough. Can only go around the issue.

What is the issue? It's just that USB keys have had their days and there are better solutions.
Do you still use VHS to record on TV?

Cloud is the way, and you they are safer unlike USB kets that can be lost or damaged.

Haven't used an actual media device on a computer now in a couple of years, and won't be going back.

That's fantastic for you bud. You use whatever ya want. I suppose an external hard drive or DVD burner also belong in the VHS era. Get a grip.

I use external hard drives to store and back up items but don''t burn DVD's or even ever use DVD. Could easily manage laptop without a DVD player.

Download a film to laptop then HDMI cable direct to TV. Simple.

Really, your complaint is similar to the outcry when Apple stopped shipping computers with 3.5" floppy drives years ago.

I wasn't part of that outcry. It didn't affect me. On the other hand..no USB on an iPad does.

Interesting how apple force u to allow them handle ur private info

tell you what. give work back the ipad and ask them for a netbook. seeing as they cant be arsed finding a better solution to usb stick.

or is work forcing you to use the ipad?

Think u are more worked up about it than I am horse. Their guns fire blanks so won't bother to put a vest on.
Apple have their products set up to force u to interact with apple. Is like Toyota forcing its customers to have their car serviced in a Toyota garage.

And what do external hdd use? Usb? I thought you were saying usb is obsolete like the floppy drive?

I'd far prefer to be transferring GBs of data using usb 3.0 at 600MB/s rather than uploading to cloud at 1 or 2MB/s. For whatever reason Apple doesn't have usb on their ipad, probably a cost or design decision. It's probably put a few people off buying one and annoyed a couple of users like the op but Apple have sold millions of them so I doubt they care

I thought having no usb would be a major inconvenience before I got my iPad. Eight months down the road it hasn't effected me in the slightest.

scary

Thats the way its always been. Surely you know this? This argument has been done to death, so why bring it up? Apple have no plans to change it and why would they, it works for millions. If it doesn't suit you or you're not happy with it find another solution eg. netbook, laptop or Android tablet, plenty of options out there for you fella.

Can you not just import through itunes? What kind of files are they and what's the purpose of adding to the ipad? If you just have to transport them there's a mass storage function.
