What i want to say is that u have to hack the device to use it as a mass storage device, i dont like that very much, i like a device that does everything i want without messing with hacks or cracks, i mean, if u have to modify the device, then the company behind it is doing something wrong

I read somewhere that version 4 of the iPhone software is almost ready for release. The most interesting thing so far about it is the spec allows for some of the storage capacity to be seen as a standard USB volume like a memory stick or hard drive.
So these problems may not be around for too much longer. |

Given Apple are selling the iWork suite for the iPad I think people will find it less useful if they cannot connect to another computer and transfer their document. It will be interesting to see if documents can be printed directly from the device.

It's unlikely that there will be a disk mode like the iPods have as each app is sandboxed so how would it access a general storage area? |

As to your other point, only some applications will need to be re-written, Quickoffice would be an example maybe Safari for opening html book files for example. I would not be unhappy if safari did not do this though. Other applications like the OED or any number of games do not need this. Without knowing how it will be implemented I suspect something like the disc use slider for iPod shuffles, where you decide how much is used for data and music. |

Say, I thought that it was already established that there would be USB mounting on the desktop of the iPad and direct printing from it.
So those are moot issues. I think people are looking for excuses to NOT buy it! |

No, a lot of us just have no interest in it. Well, 'no interest' is incorrect. I have an idle curiosity about it. I mean it is impossible to avoid and not be affected by, all the hype being tossed about.
But at this point, to me, it seems too large to be a truely portable device and too crippled to be considered a small computer. I'm content to wait and see how the early adopters start to use it. I'll let them figure out what it is good at and then I'll decide if I need it or not. |
