While some of this stuff is bad news, a lot of it will just be a reaction to Apple's stubbornness.
I won't quite go as far as saying "Apple deserves whatever they get when people inevitably hack their device", because its not completely true. But it IS inevitable, and many of the additional potential capabilities are too damn tempting. Being able to use SD cards ALONE (presumably via some custom build cabling) would be almost irresistible, as would ANY hack that makes Hulu run on the iPad (rather than having to fork extra money over to Apple for whatever Apple TV /Itunes variant they wind up delivering).
And yes, when the current iPad model gets old and crispy, and Apple support for it inevitably gets left behind, you just KNOW those alternate operating system configs, some Ubuntu port or something, will be lovely.
