thanks Calstar. I haven't kept up on the SSD drive prices. 128gb would seem reasonable as the "new 64gb" option then. Still not bad at all. Amazing really, especially thinking back just 5-10 yrs.

I absolutly would not expect app side loading at all via an SD card. Only for documents and other data files and for backup. If the intent is something as completely awful as an EyeFi card, it would seem pointless and better to add a software solution to do what an EyeFi card would offer instead. I mean what would the point of having both BT as well as Wifi if the SD slot, something 99% of all users fully expect to be for storage and the modern equivalent of "sneaker net" to have anything to do with the camera connection kit would be a waste of resources to people like me and really the already existing functions on board, or is there something special the camera connection kit brings to the table?

And really I would love to be able to end up using a shiny new iPad 2 later this year so I am asking now rather than later. Sigh, why or why did I ever but that "Touch the 4th" hehe, I genuinely was won over by it.

And really thanks for taking the time to answer my original question. good info!
