Does the iPad or iPad2 have a USB2.0 port?

From the article...comparing the design of the iPad2 to the:

"The Xoom tablet is trim, light, and very pretty ... but when you place it next to the iPad 2, it looks as though it was designed and built by angry Soviet prison labor instead of by Motorola."

heh heh

Wonder how the $799 Xoom sales are doing.

Does the keyborad slide out the bottom so you can type on it?

I wouldn’t mind an IPad but for reading they are horrible, I’ll stick with my Kindle.

"...65,000 iPad-tuned apps, ... the mere 100 tablet apps available for Android"

This lack of an established single app, music and video infrastructure will be the killer for any I-pad rival.
