1. Nobody knows
2. Probably not, but maybe someone will manufacture an add-on which will allow this to happen
3. I may be being stupid but whats a G3 version?
Edit* 3G (lol). We can guess that GPS will work as the Touch does through WiFi.

I heard the other day that it will be completely BT capable. So if you have a BT printer why wouldn't it print? I can't see them having all the iWork programs and not being able to print a document from it.
No thumb drive directly but maybe 3rd party as someone said.
It does have GPS in the WiFi version. They discussed that on the recent MacBreak Weekly.

The wifi version does not have GPS, but it does have "location services" using information from wifi hotspots/routers to approximate location.
I have an iMac, MacBook, and a few PC's and all of them print from 1 home printer over WiFi using my Airport Extreme Base Station. So I'm hoping that the iPad will do the same.
So if it does, it won't print directly from the iPad, more likely through WiFi or Bluetooth printers.

Well we have it confirmed that Bluetooth tethering won't be enabled, so I guess you heard wrong; it won't be completely Bluetooth capable.
I wouldn't expect it to allow contacts and file sharing via Bluetooth either, seeing as it makes more sense on the iPhone but it's never been enabled.
Here is my opinion....
1. Yes, via WiFi using dedicated apps. I have the HP printing app that I use to print from my iPhone
2. No
3. If they work on an iPod Touch they would probably work on an iPad
The one on the iPod touch will be similar to the iPad. It's not "true" GPS per say, but it's pretty damn accurate in locating where you are. Wifi is, of course needed.
Are you talking about HP iPrint Photo 2.0? That's the only hp printing app I can find in the app store.
