Curious, does the iPad packaging or advertising point this out? If the iPad is supposed to be a post-PC device designed for mom, pa, grandpa and geek alike, then it, IMO, shouldn't need to be connected to a computer for any reason. The fact that it can is surely a plus. I personally have no issue, but to herald it as past current PC devices is slightly disingenuous if I have to connect it to a supposed relic.
