We might get the iPad for my mother, one of her presents for her 60th birthday. She is not a technophile but has recently expressed an interest in a "small laptop" for ease of traveling. She primarily wants something small that can easily handle internet and uploading pictures. Seems the iPad does well on both size and internet (excluding the Flash issues).

But I don't see any SD slot for uploading pictures directly. Do you still have to sync via iTunes then? Seems to negate many of the "mobile" benefits if that is the case. But once the photos are on the iPad, it's a nice way to view them and show them to others (she loves to share).

Any fixes?
