For consumer use, the iPad can also read SD cards with a plugin reader (actually a few, Apple makes one but so do other companies).
Do you really want a dongle flopping around while you are walking around with your device in your hand?
However for business use, why would they want something like an SD card so easily lost/stolen to begin with?
How easy is it to lose something that is inside the device? This tablet also encrypts the SD card, so theft is not an issue. If you look at the specs on Lenovo's site you will also see that it comes with Computrace for free.
Lenovo is also filtering out all the junk apps in their App Shop, I'm hoping that will mean easier access to quality apps. You'll still be able to use the Google Market too. Lenovo is trying to make this a serious business tool, unlike the shiny toy that the iPad is.
In the time it takes someone to bring the machine to the Apple store, wait in line and then wait for an in-store tech to repair the machine or (more likely) have it sent off for servicing, you could have repaired in-house.
The Great American streetcar scandal (also known as the General Motors streetcar conspiracy and the National City Lines conspiracy) refers to allegations of, and convictions from, a premeditated program by General Motors (GM) and several other companies to purchase and dismantle streetcars (also known as trams or trolleys) and electric trains in cities across the United States and replace them with bus services; a program which has been blamed by some for the virtual elimination of effective public transport in nearly all American cities by the 1970s. The lack of hard information about what occurred has led to intrigue, uncertainty, inaccuracy and conspiracy theories. The story has been explored many times in print, film and other media, notably in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Taken for a Ride and The End of Suburbia.
Don't forget about the auto manufacturers who decided to buy up rail lines only to pave them over with roads. This is the reason we have such a bad rail system in the US.

I forgot to mention that the ThinkPad tablet uses Corning Gorilla Glass, that stuff is hard to break when you're trying.
Just like the iPhone 4 the iPad glass tends to shatter when dropped. I would not call it durable.

The SD card is encrypted too.

The specs on Lenovo.com say 8 hours of battery while on wifi.
And cables that used to cost $10 are now $50-$100.
If you cannot find DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort cables for under $10 you're buying them from the wrong places.
This tablet weighs 4.5lb.
Well for one thing this tablet has an active digitizer built in. The display is also an IPS panel.
Even if Thunderbolt comes to the iPad (which I highly doubt) you will still have to buy a $50 cable for each device.
This tablet is not x86, it is powered by a Tegra 2 ARM CPU.
NAND flash degrades over time and has a limited amount of program/erase cycles.
I wonder how big this could get to becoming a large distributed file server.
It doesn't work that way, once someone downloads a file it is removed from the network.
Kazaa would actually share all your documents by default, it has been a major problem on government systems.
Unemployment only counts those who are still receiving unemployment benefits.
Ever seen what the butt of a rifle can do to a skull?
It often floods in Las Vegas when it rains. In fact flash flood warnings are quite common.
Las Vegas is not warm year round, in fact the average temperature is under 70f 5 months out of the year.
Only if it was a lawful order.
Since when has "I was just following orders" been considered a valid excuse?
Except 3dMark 2011 didn't exist until last December, it's more likely that he never set the BIOS clock.

A simple Google search will pull up many citations, it was even part of the storyline in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Not broadcasting the SSID is a pretty worthless security measure. If you have a wireless client connected I can see your SSID.
