Not permanently. Think like a docking station where you can check an email or something.

why? it's kinda small to be mounted on a wall...and you'd have to walk over everytime to use it.

1GHz????? how is this faster than a netbook???

“iPad is powered by our own custom silicon. Our own chip. It’s called the A4, and it screams.” 1GHz. 16, 32, or 64GB of flash storage. “It’s got the latest in wireless: 802.11n, WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.”
