When will Ipad users be able to view a video attachment in email?

I am new at this and have just bought the IPAD for my husband who is in
chemo and radiation therapy and needs to pull his email from bed to keep busy. Alot of his emails have wave files that use quicken, when will this application be available for IPAD users or will it never be available?

Ipad, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

I am confused. A Google search says wave files are wav files which is an audio format. If the file type you are referring to is associate with Quicken then contact the Quicken people. They need to write an app for that.

Perhaps you mean files that use Quicktime?

In any case, the supported formats for email attachments have been listed in the tech specs since Jan. 27. Nobody can tell you if or when those are going to change.

http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/

If it is not there, best to switch to a laptop/netbook.

You can ask Apple for more here:

Thanks for your answer. You are right. Apple does not support quicken. Is there any video application I can load on the IPAD in order for it to view attachment wave files.

There is an app called "PDF Word Excel File Viewer" by Concrete Software that claims "WAV" file viewing capability in their writeup on the apps page. Price is 0.99.

Sounds interesting! But isn't wav audio and not video? Video would probably be wmv format, for which I see only one app called "yxplayer"

Good catch !

I should have said "supported file type" or "file playing" instead of file viewing.
