You mean it requires iTunes for the first sync. After that you only need it for backing up.

For what it's worth you also need iTunes for software updates. Maybe one day we'll see OTA updates.
I would love them to make two changes for 4: OTA updates and syncing to mobileme or a USB hard drive. If they did those two changes, it would open up more people to be able to use and iPad.
I suppose so if you never want to do any updates or get media onto or off of it. Apple lists iTunes as a requirement so I don't think I'm exaggerating.
