Another good point.
As someone who is in the mobile tech business (developing mCommerce apps), I am always amazed at what people want to do with the technology. Some of it is really innovative and good. Others, such as taking an iPad on a boat are just wrong. Now if you have a Panasonic Rugged laptop, I'd say go for it. Meets military specs and is pretty near indestructible.
iPads are not meant for that type of abuse. You will literally fry the touch screen with saltwater and sunlight. The port that you use to charge the iPad isn't covered either. Get saltwater in it and it will seep into all the other components.
There is a waterproof case made for the iPad 2 by TrendyDigital but we have not stress tested them as of yet. I do not believe the iPad touch screen works when it is in the case so you will still need to expose it to the elements to use it.
