Logmein Ignition will be awesome on the iPad. Air Share Pro and Dropbox will be more important. I am also anxious to try Air Mouse and i-clckr.It will certainly make cloud computing necessary, or at least a good option, so as to keep all of my computers in sync (iPhone, iPad, laptop, and whatever else the mailman may bring this year ).
Suddenly, iDisk and MobileMe makes sense to me. But at $69-$99 a year? It's not a huge deal and the convenience may very well be worth it. Apple's marketing mechanisms of generating cash are working in tune together beautifully.
It would be nice to be able to sync to iTunes via Bluetooth ERD or WiFi. Splashshopper discovers and synchs beautifully over WiFi.
I have not even looked at Mobileme or iDisk but I will do so before the delivery of my iPad. As the Dude suggests, I may even consider putting some of my data in Google.
With the exception of Dropbox, I have been reluctant to put my data in the cloud. I started using it to share photos as an alternative to Kodak Gallery and SnapFish, whose terms I do not much like. However, with the iPad, the cloud may be more attractive. On the other hand, my home LAN is my own private cloud.
I think that those who think of the iPad as "just a Touch" do not really appreciate the tools, utilities, and apps that are available in that 140K.
