Will A Thunderbolt Hit The iPhoneiPad Before A Full Ascension Into The Cloud?

This morning's upgrades to Apple's iMac line of computers brought a range of nice features. But most were just spec bumps. The big new addition is Thunderbolt. Following the initial roll-out to the MacBook Pros, the new super high-speed ports are clearly destined to be a key component across Apple's product lines. But what about Apple's two key newer products: the iPhone and iPad? Apple hasn't said a word yet about what Thunderbolt means for them.During a call with Apple this morning, I specifically asked about when we might see Thunderbolt-enabled adapters for iPhone/iPad. Apple would only say that they had nothing to share at this time. That's usually code for "it's coming, but just not yet." And that makes sense. Why pour all this money into a new technology if you're not going to use it in places where it makes the most sense? But it's also not that simple.
