Thread: iPad question

You can get an adapter set (camera connection) which takes an sd card and allows a usb connection to the camera to get the photos off the camera.

You can get apps that can manipulate the photos.

Displaying photos is easy, just flip across the screen to display the next one. iPad is an ideal gadget to do this. Much easier than carrying a laptop around.

Currently I am looking at getting a non 3g iPad and tethering it to my iPhone using an app called itether.

You can use the iPhone as a wireless (wifi) hub but it drains the battery real fast.

Apple don't normally say when new things are due for release.

It would be real nice if the next iPad allowed bluetooth connection, and hence tethering, to the iPhone.
But due to a sweet deal made with AT&T it is unlikely to happen. AT&T don't want people to tether to a phone, they want you to buy another 3g data package.

Can you get a connection for flash cards for the iPad as my wifes camera uses them and not sd cards

I have seen the USB connector for the iPad can you use a card reader with this as then I can use the flash cards

New iPad is definitely being rumoured for release in the next month or two.

Personally I don't believe the iPad offers enough for quickly viewing photos and it really is better as email, internet, eBooks, video, iTunes, Facebook, etc.

32GB is limited and unless you are taking small JPEG images you won't have lots of storage with the music and everything else loaded. Also, at present, there is no ability to remotely store pictures unless you sync to a PC/Mac.

IMO a 13" MacBook or MacBookPro or a 13" or 11" MacBookAir would be better.

I think the iPad in its current form is the tip of the iceberg as to tablet PC's. Give it a couple more updates and I think the iPad and the others that are emerging will be changing portable computing.

As far as I am aware...
No and No

It is not a "true" usb port.

Actually the camera connection kit for the IPad has the ability to read SD cards directly or connect directly to the camera via the camera's mini USB. Check the web site for a list of compatible cameras.
