So the 1G iPad (which is a staple in our household) which didn't have any real competitors for 2 years - missed a key feature?
I think not. It was an MVP, finely crafted and still works well to this day for us.
Note when they did release a better iPad with a "missing" feature - camera - it had software that created a full solution (FaceTime). If Apple had waited until July (when the iPhone4 and iOS4 with FaceTime arrived), they would have lost out on several valuable months of hype and market dominance.
