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.<p>Getting data onto them (such as scanning barcodes) is a separate question.<p>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?<p><a href="http://www.ismashphone.com/2009/05/red-laser-the-first-accurate-iphone-barcode-scanner-hits-the-app-store.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ismashphone.com/2009/05/red-laser-the-first-accur...</a><p>That number is actually probably a bit lower due to "broken by design" problems like this.<p>I'd wager that we'll see an iPad camera accessory offered within 6-12 months that connects nicely to the 30-pin.
