Word of warning, once guitars get their hooks into you they're more
expensive than cameras (but not as much as good lenses to go on those
cameras).

Somewhat coincidentally, I've been trying to learn that song on the
guitar for the past few days.
I picked up a beat-up old Yamaha acoustic from a friend about a week ago
after I got hooked on playing another friend's Martin while house/dog
sitting.
It's truly a beater, but it sounds good after a new set of strings and
just a touch of work on the nut to get the take out the buzz on the top
E string when played open. And I got it at a price that made rebuilding
the calluses on my fingers seem bearable.
I'll probably be looking for something newer and nicer in the
not-too-distant future. Still, it's not a bad little starter guitar. And
it's in much better condition than the one Willie Nelson plays.

Oh, one other thing - it will likely be a Ricoh branded camera, with
"Pentax" as the model, much the same way as Canon has "EOS". If they
don't
do this in time for the K3, it will be on all future models though.

That is a combination I have thought about Paul. And it would require
much
less up-front investment than a new camera body or two . . .

How about this...
Eye-Fi Pro card - set to transfer only JPGs
Shoot RAW+JPG with JPGs set to smallest file size
Let the built-in wi-fi transfer from the card to the iPad. No need
for a
card reader and the small JPGs transfer fairly quickly.
Then run the JPGs through Photosmith as planned.

I have been thinking through "issues" with my workflow when I travel.
Considering how to leave behind my laptop and travel just with iPad. One
quite appealing approach is to shoot jpeg+RAW, download the jpeg's to
the
iPad, tag and sort on the iPad (Photosmith app), then download the
RAW files
to main computer back home and synch the metadata. All this is pretty
straightforward if there are two cards: RAW's go to one card, jpeg's
to the
other.
but Pentax doesn't really need me, they need new customers, so it's
probably most important how it will appeal to people who haven't
already got
a K-5-level camera
Something else that would interest me: remember tethering? Pentax
used to
have tethering capability on early DSLR's. Top-end modern cameras have
wireless tethering to iPads or smartphones. It would be nice if
Pentax were
to rediscover tethering and join that group . . .
