The iPad does not have a USB port built in. There are some third-party audio devices, though, that use the Dock connector. And of course the iPad 2 has a microphone built in. If you're looking for a serious audio device, the Alesis iO Dock might be worth considering:

Lexicon's Omega is another option, one that apparently works via Apple's Camera Connector Kit:
