"Kilimanjaro, I want to send some of our holiday photos to aunt Annie with your mom's iPad. Where can I plug it in? Dad."

"Kilimanjaro, your father bought a book which I would like to read too. Could you tell us how to copy it to my iPad too? Love, mum"

"Hi Dad. You'll have to buy one of these http://images.apple.com/ipad/specs/images/usb_connectors_201... for the iPad, unless your camera has built-in uploading. Look on the box for a WiFi icon."

"Hi mum. Plug your iPad into iTunes and click 'add device to authorized list' under the Advanced menu when dad is logged into his iTunes account."

That one actually isn't too hard to walk people through on the phone. I did it with my mom and dad for their iPod's a few months back. Took all of five minutes; most of which was waiting for the iPod's to finish syncing.

It doesn't matter that you know the solution. The correct answer is, "Gee, sorry. I don't know anything about the iPad. Ask the Google."

There's an app for that. Or, there will be.
