Two things I promise I'd pay for if you can offer them:

1) Site that would allow you to edit CR2 (Canon RAW) files online in a manner compatible with use from an iPad. Bonus points if you can also allow the files to be displayed directly (IOW - Flickr supporting RAW and using iPad Safari controls)

2) Site that would allow me to track other sites that post links to Anime/Manga available through MegaUpload and such, and then let me use my premium account to initiate the DL away from home - but direct the file to be DL to my home drive. IOW - uTorrent has a Web Interface, need something that would work similarly for identifying MU and FileServe files, and let me start the transfer using my iPad on the road, but DLing to my home machine.

Number 2 could also be used for other episodic type releases. Number 1 would get you a whole slew of amateur and pro photographers who right now have to wait until they get home to see what they got, and work with it. Imagine if I could take a couple minutes during a shoot now, upload my files, and on a big enough monitor decide if I need to reshoot something while I'm still there to do it. (Or I could take a monster notebook - but an iPad would be SO much friendlier for this).

You don't need such a powerful notebook to do this. Just shoot tethered to a macbook (or just download your cards periodically) and review/edit in your software of choice. If you want to get really fancy, shoot wirelessly to a macbook in a corner somewhere, and use your iPad to remote control it via VNC.

NB I am (occasionally) a profesional photographer.

I like #2, if i could i will work on that (at least for my self-amusement).
