Hey Neil, How's it going? From what I've read, iPad does support standard copy-paste. File sharing is a great question since there is oddly no USB. There is a file sharing directory that syncs with your computer, through a wire or dock or possibly Bluetooth. You can connect to an external monitor (or projector) but you have to use the dock to do so. One more thing to pack.
Personally I'm not that excited about the iPad. Sure, you can use iWork and iPhone apps (in large scale!), but it doesn't run my design apps and doesn't multitask. :( As an artist, I wish it had a stylus (and ideally, pressure sensitivity) for fine-tuned drawing & illustration. As a UX person, I wonder, how am I supposed to sketch out my concepts, flows and wireframes on this thing? Apparently, I'm not. Apple has produced an attractive option for the consumer market and coolhunting road warriors, but it's no Modbook killer. Yes, I know I have high ideals, but it irks me that we're a decade into the 21st century and I still don't have my magic drawing paper. Or my personal jet pack. Or my robot butler. Get with the program, Steve!

Or from any other app on one iPad to another person's iPad? Or, when using iWork, what happens when you save that file and open it later. Or how you'd grab a chart off of Numbers and drop it in Keynote. Does that just use the standard copy and paste? Any out there get their hands on one to play with it yet? I'm really curious how this works.
