that's an outstanding point. I'm sure that Mr. Jobs wants windows and  
linux users to drop change on iPads, too..

They didn't sell 250 Million iPods by being Mac-only.

If unable to "sync," perhaps an iPad can share files in the sense of  
producing files which other platforms can use?  Perhaps you beam  
things up to the mothership using the iPad's WIFI connection,  
download them later on your platform of choice.

...or, maybe wifi-less iPads can sneakernet their files by way of  
flash drives.
