Terry, thanks a lot.Happy Weekend folks....great news:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
If you plug a Compact Flash Reader into the USB camera connector it will read your CF cards !!!! (obviously you need a USB and not a firewire reader) but you don't have to plug your dslr into the iPad.
So a powered USB hub as an intermediate step between the reader and the iPad?There have been a few reports of an error using a CF card reader that the device sucks too much power. I hit that twice last night after I posted. It happened with one reader but the reader still did the task (deleting a file after import, one import). I will keep playing but I don't think it is a problem.
I'm not going to bother to go the powered route. I was able to do multiple CF card downloads. I will play around with CF cards more this weekend but certain readers may zap more power.So a powered USB hub as an intermediate step between the reader and the iPad?

Would be nice to keep it simple and clean.I'm not going to bother to go the powered route. I was able to do multiple CF card downloads. I will play around with CF cards more this weekend but certain readers may zap more power.
Well, the whole point of these devices is that they ARE different - and are meant to be. If you start using the 'why should it be different', then you are one step along the route of turning the ipad into a standard tablet PC.Now I would agree that giving foreign apps free reign outside of a users directory is a bad thing, but why not with your own data? I don't have those worries with applications I buy and use on my Mac so why should my iPhone/iPad be any different?
