Always fun to wish upon a Apple.
$29.99 a month for unlimited 3G data... sounds so amazing... if only it wasn't AT&T...

iPad Camera Connection Kit
The Camera Connection Kit gives you two ways to import photos and videos from a digital camera. The Camera Connector lets you import your photos and videos to iPad using the camera’s USB cable. Or you can use the SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from the camera’s SD card.
Well. Their recent financial statement suggests that someone gives their products serious consideration.I wish Apple would price a product, any Apple product, reasonably, so the product could be given serious consideration.

Don't rule that out. On the iPhone you can have iTunes going (playing music) the background with other things - like email.Really, this thing looks great, except for the lack of Flash support and the fact that it can only do one thing at a time (so no MP3s playing in the background while typing a report ).

This was the gist of an email conversation I had earlier today. I am sure there is going to be a decent application to actually do some work on the photos as well. Even if it is iPhoto I'd be happy to make some jpeg edits.My photoblog and Leica lens reviews: http://www.danielvalentephotography.com/
Well - the iPad was announced today and while Steve Jobs did a really good job at showing the features they glossed over what I deem to be the most important accessory - at least for photographers. You can get a digital camera connection kit which comes with a dock-usb and dock-sdhc card reader. Now imagine you are at a shoot or on vaction and do not want to bring your laptop. You now have a 500 dollar 10” viewing screen and also photo backup. At the end (or in the middle) of the shoot, dump the images to the ipad and quickly show proofs or browse at the end of the session. The ipad along with 3g will allow you to photo-blog Instantly! right from a shoot. Imagine shooting the wedding and having people at the reception be able to log onto your website and by photo/order prints before the bride and groom even cut the cake. The ipad is a game changer for sure. It makes 300 dollar Archos storage devices now look like a joke.
Now… if we can tether our cameras to the ipad… that would be something truly special…
Thank you Apple.

This might shed some light on 3G callingWell, it's fine as long as you are near a wifi hotspot.
What if you're not?
It can't be rocket science to write an application that does that. With a WiFi enabled camera and jpegs to the iPad and RAWs to the in-camera card, the operation would even be rather swift. If I were a camera manufacturer, I would look into that today rather than tomorrow.Now… if we can tether our cameras to the ipad… that would be something truly special…

I thought Apple prices were more or less the same worldwide, except local taxes?Wonder how much it will be for us here in Oz. AT least 1.5 or 2x the US$ price. From the pics in the local paper it looks gorgeous, I want one already! And the apple store says not available until March.
They are but Apple does adjust the price of product sold int'l as the dollar rises and falls (strengthens/weakens). No idea how often the adjust is made, monthly, quarterly, annually ... ? There are also import tariffs and "dumping" fees imposed by some countries that gets folded into the final retail cost that US consumers don't see.I thought Apple prices were more or less the same worldwide, except local taxes?
The iPad runs iPhone OS 3.2, and is essentially a giant iPod touch (+ 3G if you so choose). So it will behave like the iPhone/iPod touch with respect to playing music, so as you say, you can play music while typing an email. It does not run MacOS - so any multitasking is not possible. One app at a time, just like the iPhone. That's why you don't want to give up your MBP yet. I don't see this changing anytime soon, because it's clear to me Apple wants the same development platform for both devices (at least for now). Considering there are 58 million iPhone out there, that makes some sense.Don't rule that out. On the iPhone you can have iTunes going (playing music) the background with other things - like email.
