Here's what I'd like to do: I'd like to take a document of some sort -- MS Word, Keynote, PPT, PDF, etc -- and load it onto my iPad in such a way that it will appear as an icon on the desktop, so that I can just click on the icon and it will open / display the document.

I know that it's possible to create a "home screen icon" that will bring up a page in Mobile Safari -- but I'd like to do this for something that's not a web page.

Is it even possible?

Thanks,

Craig
