I doubt they'll implement a regular hard-drive style access utility to the iPad. It's there where they also try to treat it like the iPod touch. The main thing resembling HD access is if you use the mobile me account drive. However, that wouldn't be a bad idea if they expanded the iDisk aspect thing to allow you to upload and download files to a website straight from your mobile me drives using the iPad or iPhone/Touch. That would actually expand the functionality by a nice margin, IMO.
