Also, are the iWorks files MS Office compatible? Not being would be a deal breaker for me!
When I connect my iPod Touch to my Windows machine, it automatically opens iTunes and is recognized as a camera (or a picture holding drive). I am not able to get into the file system. I belive Mac people can run it in disk
mode (iDisk) and have more access (I'm really not sure).

Since the iPad already has iTunes built it, I'm not sure what would happen.

I ask my friend if he noticed anything about MS Office tomorrow.
