Feature Request: Home Sharing

Several apps now sync up with their desktop counterparts and let you share files among them.  For example, my iTunes library is available on my iPad 2's iPod app.  I can listen to any song on my computer anywhere in my wifi range on my iPad 2.  Why could we not do something similar with this app.  If it could hook up to the desktop app while we're home, we could read books that aren't downloaded with faster access times.  Additionally, some of the more powerful features of the desktop app could be remotely controlled from the iPad app, giving us access to the power of the desktop app, with the processing done on the desktop but the results then sent to the iPad app.  We should also be able to access our notes, sentence diagrams and clippings this way.  Good idea?  I thought so!

    Option: could install a VNC app on iPad (e.g. MochaVNC) to remotely control Logos 4 Mac when at home with screen display on iPad.  OS X Lion screen sharing allows remote user to have different screen than one using Mac interactively.

    Mobile possibility is mounting a Mac Mini in a vehicle with wireless connection for iPad.

    Reading rumors about iPad 3 next year with retina resolution screen.

    Keep Smiling [:)]

    Yes.  I've done that but that approach has some problems for me.  I have two monitors and VNC doesn't handle that well.  And the desktop app wasn't exactly designed for a touch screen.  Anyway, I think the iPad app could be designed to perfectly work with the desktop app with better success.  Thanks for the suggestion.
