Can you connect them to an ordinary PC ?
Can I transfer stuff easily?

Dropbox?
Depends what you're trying to do.
If it's just pictures from PC to Ipad then yes.
Other things are a little tricky, hence Dropbox.
Dropbox is something you install on your PC and the iPad has an app version. There is a folder where you 'drop' files and the magic of the internet synchs them onto the other device next time you switch it on. Works both ways, on multiple PCs etc.
Apologies for the hijack: re Dropbox, am I right in thinking it doesn't sync the whole folder structure onto the device? I.e. you only get to surf folders and pull stuff down (from your cloud storage) as and when you need it? If so, then you need an internet connection to use it? That's how it works on my iPhone.
Simple answer: nope
Complicated answer - it can
If you use something like good reader to download the individual files or folders from your Dropbox account.
Simple answer is that no, it doesn't plug into your PC and appear like a big flash drive.
However files [i]can[/i] be transferred back and forward painlessly by various means (USB, wifi, bluetooth) using iTunes or specific apps - but it largely depends what sort of files and what app(s) you want to work with them in.
