Hey, I think I can make a fortune creating an iPad app that allows it to serve as a read-only USB drive to a PC. Here's the rationale. Say you are an IT support person who has to get a Windows computer back in service. There could be a software malady, such as malware or a virus. To research the problem you need an internet browser, such as Safari on the iPad. Once you find the solution, you may need a script file or a bunch of registry changes. Plop these into a file on the iPad drive, and then mount the iPad drive folder on the PC via the Apple USB cable. Copy or execute the scripts on the PC. Why makes this idea so unique? Can't a service person buy a mobile Windows based computer and use it in lieu of an iPad? Not exactly. It's the read-only USB drive emulation that makes my idea work. Steve Jobs will love my app. Headline: Apple Device Mounts PC, and cures sick victim.
