Uploading from devices to and from the Ipad can be a headache. Good insight within this article. I really think the worst thing about the Ipad is no USB connections.

I'm with you on many respects. I talk to folks almost every day who don't realize they have to plug their iPhone into a computer at some point. Some folks don't even have computers - the iPhone is their sole connection to the web and their data! For this and other reasons, I see mobileme becoming much more full-featured a service. With the addition of iWork for OS X mobile, transferring and storing data on your iDisk from within those apps will surely be an option. The current syncing works well between cloud and iPhone - the desktop is the bottleneck. And, on another matter, I'd love iCal on my Mac to look like the iPad version! Good insights.
