You are very welcome - short and 'to the point' questions are much easier to handle.
I was never comfortable with uploading all my information to a server that I don’t know who monitors and can't tell if my information was being tampered with (I'm a little OCD when it comes to storing my information locally)
Thats okay - its a personal choice. But do remember to backup regularly as we have hordes of people here every week having lost the lot due to lack of backups.
For example purposes, say I'm outside of internet connection. I use my iPad to write some calendar updates, edit some contact info and then want to upload those to my iPhone. Since I only have the WIFI version, I would have to find a WIFI connection if I were to use the MobileMe option.
Correct. However you could do all of that on your phone as well.
But if a Bluetooth option existed, where I could pair the iPhone and iPad, then I could transfer the files locally, without an internet connection.
Correct but it will never happen IMO - the Bluetooth connection is capable of 'misuse' and so Apple will not permit file transfer. there is however an App which allows people to 'bump' phones and swap contact cards so maybe you could use that for some scenarios.
It would also be helpful if the Calendar app on the iPad allowed you to send calendar appointments via email.
It does for Exchange calendars already however there appear to be some issues about having a common standard across all Calendar applications. I do not know for certain but I suspect that the most common Meeting Invite, from Outlook may be a proprietary format and thats why it only works with Exchange - but thats just a guess .
