I had the same problem with charging. I don't know why I purchased such a featureless product. Maybe it was the hype, but the display was beautiful. But not much more than that. Weight wasn't that much of an issue.

I agree they have been focusing on the wrong problems. They should have been piling on the features.. HDMI out, FM Radio, Better GPS, eliminating the dependence on iTunes. I'm looking forward to the Acer Tablet.

This is why Apple doesn't ask customers what they want. This is a list of things that are not actually very useful in a tablet.

HDMI out? It's a tablet. AirPlay is a better solution, but very few people even need that.

FM radio? Seriously?

Better GPS? Is that nice to have? Sure. Necessary? No. Don't you have a phone in your pocket already?

They already did - iCloud. New iPad (and current iPhone) doesn't require computer to be activated or used.

Or do you mean right on the case itself?

There's an apple dongle for that

But I need more ports!

FM radio? Should it send telegraphs too?

1) HDMI out is unnecessary when you have AirPlay.

2) Who on earth wants FM radio on a tablet ?

3) There is NO dependence on iTunes. You don't need a computer at all to use the iPad.
