it is very definitely usb and it has full functionality.

just because a particular use case is not supported does not mean a usb
port is no longer a usb port. what a ridiculous thing to say.

What is interesting is that when nospam claims an Apple is not a PC, his
logic is exactly the opposite of his argument that the iPad has a USB port.

how in the world do you come up with that nonsense?

All I did was read you comments.

but what you didn't do is understand what they mean.

Is the port fully compliant with USB standards.
That call for a yes or no answer.

it is fully compliant with the usb spec.
