Has anyone heard about whether or not the iPad has a coded lock feature? I wouldn't want a device that had access to my email but did not have a way to secure it when i was not using it.

also does anyone know if the contacts application for the iPad will sync the the contacts application in OSX? Would be nice to not have to manually input all that data again.

same question for the calendar, will it import as well?

would think that both would have that ability. maybe not necessarily sync but just import as least.

Far as i know due to the fact Ipad use part of the Iphone OS , it will be the same as you're Iphone soft and easy sync )

Yes, it is based on the iPhone OS, so no worries there.
