Er, ssh?

I don't see what the big deal is. I've been able to remotely ssh into my mac for years.

now imagine this at the gui level. imagine being on your mac, pick up your ipad, move to the next room, and swipe and have access to the same apps currently running. jut look at what apples been putting out the last few years. look at lions big features. full screen mode doesnt sound impressive. but that would make those apps much easier to use on the ipad.

im nut saying this is all new stuff, rather, its going to be packaged by apple, and that is going to mean something.

I just want to apologize for the awful spelling and punctuation. It was written on an iPad.

"im nut saying..." >_<

If you want to do this right now, check out Screens for iPad.

Yeah, I've seen that before. I'm not talking about just that. What I'm talking about is having the full screen mode Apple is developing will have support for turning the app into an iPad version with little effort. Basically, by following their API and implementing official full screen support, when the time comes to implement Mac to iPad support like I'm describing, instead of seeing the Mac's desktop, your seeing the application on your iPad in an "iPadified" version of the app.
