Is it possible to access Ping on the iPad? Will it be possible through iTunes?

Probably not until 4.2.

For a company pushing mobile devices it is ridiculous not to offer a new social network on one of their primary products.

Ping has a lot of maturing to do, so I for one am happy to wait. Having said that, I'm surprised it hasn't launched on iPad too.

Seeing as it is on the iPhone, I am really surprised it hasn't made it to the iPad yet...4.2 !

No, but there are other social networks apps that are not tied to purchasing music yet are used for that at the same time. I don't see Ping as having legs.

I don't find Ping useful if I can't even access it from my iPad.

It is bizarre that it's not on the iPad. Then again I'm not really using it.

I'd use it if there was a single artist on my playlists that was signed up for Ping. I guess it's not really cool for death and metal core bands to sign up for Ping... not yet anyway. :D

On both the iPhone and iPad, there needs to be a button in the iPod controls to 'like' whatever song is playing, to Ping.
