I work from home part-time and it'll be great to have an instant-on device with a large screen that I can use to jump on servers or user's desktops without always having to be tethered to my desk or dragging a laptop around. This is especially attractive considering that I spend part of each day watching a toddler, and will soon be adding a newborn to the mix - I need something easily portable with no wires and a minimum of moving parts to deal with.
Hmm. So what you are saying is that when I'm sitting with my iPad in Atlanta, I will be able to access my iMac in Chicago? Listen to music stored on the external?
