According to the Tech Specs at http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/, the iPad will be able to view PDF documents. I know that PDFs can be viewed on the iPhone and iPod Touch. (I think there are a variety of applications, such as Stanza, that can open up PDFs on the iPhone and iPod Touch.)

Any ideas as to whether there will be an Apple product (such as a version of Preview made for the iPad) that will be able to open up PDF files on the iPad?

This is speculation on my part, but the logic of utmost simplification that the iPad is a harbinger of dictates that PDFs be shown directly within MobileSafari's window, not in a separate app. Alternatively, a parallel/ separate PDF Reader may be the bone thrown by Apple to Adobe to placate it somehow for the continuing absence of Flash.

Keep your eyes open for Papers (www.mekentosj.com). This is the best application to organize, view, rate and read pdf, specifically scientific articles, however, I will probably use it for other pdfs such as textbook and magazines. It is already available for the iPhone, but due to the screen size, it is almost impossible to read. They will bring the app to the iPad. I think that this app itself is a reason to buy an iPad (for educators).
