To both questions, my answer is no. I'd say people should restrict their expectation to read and then only to possibly add some notes. Skim might be what people need to have ported to the iPad and BibDesk needs only to be able to transfer its bib-file and the linked pdf's to the iPad. I know that many might think otherwise and yes, I do also regularly add new records to my data base while reading. But I do not think it feasible to expect more for the reasons Christiaan has already pointed out. And yes, to get Christiaan some iPad if that really would make a difference is worth-considering. Just some thoughts.
