Support notes for iPad's Pages, Keynote, and Numbers apps all suggest that printing functionality may be coming to the device. The notes state that "printing directly from iPad is not currently available." It's the use of the word "currently" that has got people buzzing. If these words do suggest that printing is coming to iPhone OS 4.0 (being previewed tomorrow), printing may well not be limited to only the iPad.
So how would your iPhone or iPad connect to a printer? The most likely ways would be via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (making an Airport Base Station or Time Capsule a nice add-on sale for anyone buying an iPhone or an iPad, or non-wireless printer owners), or perhaps Apple will even introduce an iPad/iPhone-to-printer connection kit. We'll find out tomorrow!
