I have a program on cd on PC and wondering if there is anyway for it to work on iPad.
So if only iPad Apps work, adding a USB slot to the iPad would only work for Apple programs, right? Is there a proprietary USB system for Macs or do regular USBs work? So if Apple ever adds a USB slot to a future iPad, would(could) it work between a Mac and an iPad?

Hello,
If the program on PC can work on Apple iPad, it will be wonderful!

I'm pretty sure Tim is about to recommend this as a workaround: if you are on a home network or have a strong internet connection, you can run your PC remotely using programs like Splashtop (recommended). That way you can run all of your Windows programs.

Do the networks have to be the same one and if not is VPN supported?
Just curious - I've connected to my office PC for years via Windows Remote Desktop using VPN through a Citrix client - has worked well - assume that w/ the iPad I could at least connect to my desktop PC in the other room on our Wi-Fi network - thanks.
