Well, the question how to get data off of it. Which I answered and got hammered on and now sit in negative karma territory for my trouble (thanks guys! downvote abuse is awesome!). But whatever, apparently actual answers aren't valued. Getting data onto them (such as scanning barcodes) is a separate question. Apple claims all of the existing app store apps will work on the iPad. But I wonder how many require things like the camera to function? http://www.ismashphone.com/2009/05/red-laser-the-first-accurate-iphone-barcode-scanner-hits-the-app-store.html http://www.ismashphone.com/2009/05/red-laser-the-first-accur... That number is actually probably a bit lower due to "broken by design" problems like this. I'd wager that we'll see an iPad camera accessory offered within 6-12 months that connects nicely to the 30-pin.
