Actually, down here, "ars" is Latin for "art." Though I must admit, there might might be a connection, but that would indeed depend on the arse in question.

Of course you know how to use it! It does nothing, so if you're capable of doing nothing, then you're fully qualified to use it!
To be fair, at least the OP's come up with
some sort of use for the iPad, which is more than what Jobsy did. Most Apple products are about 90% hype and marketing, and 5% functionality (the remaining 5% consisting of the blood of Chinese workers.) The iPad approaches near 100% hype.
What, exactly, does one do with an overgrown iPad touch? It's been called "revolutionary" and "amazing," but it does what, exactly? "Easy to use appliance" - an appliance has, as the name suggests, an application. Which would, in this case, be...errr...
Saying the iPad has USB is ridiculous from, y'know, a purely practical standpoint. If you can't plug a standard USB connector into it, then it has no USB.
I will now patiently wait for the flames from the Fruities, who claim that iPad would be perfectly suited to something like a photo editing platform, despite the fact The Wise And Holy Jobs himself has said that's not what the iPad is for.

Hey, we're quite capable of looking silly on own! Damn Septics.
Screw the paltry "2 million" iPad users. I say Pentax should focus the seven billion or so other people on the planet. Easier target to hit.
(Remind me why we're meant to drop everything and change how we live, or, in Pentax's case, their R&D, every time Apple vomits another piece of digital trinketry onto the marketplace?)
