Can you buy a compact camera that will send Pics and Video wirelessly to the iPad?

[Piggie]

Just wondering.

Does any compact camera maker yet produce a model that can send Photo's and short Video clips taken with the camera over to the iPad's photo/video album wirelessly?

Thanks very much for that.

But I don't really like the idea you have to use a router to do the work.

I wish to beam direct from Camera to iPad.

Also the Camera to take video files in a format that can be played back on the iPad without needing conversion.

I'm guessing this is not possible yet?

Well, if you jailbreak your iphone or iPad, you can use MyWi to turn them into "routers"

I suppose I have in the back of my mind a BlueTooth transfer

Meaning a Camera that can transmit it's data over Bluetooth.

And Apple being able to read that data.

The 1st already exists.

So what are the chances of Apple allowing Camera's to send data to the iPad without needing Wires?

Surely it's the ideal solution they would like? No Wires?

I could be wrong, but isn't there an app which allows you to wirelessly connect an iPhone/iPod Touch camera to the iPad?

Okay admitidly your camera choice is very limited

Yep here it is *http://gizmodo.com/5511115/how-to-turn-an-iphone-into-a-wireless-ipad-camera

The iPad has that ability to do BT, but I haven't seen an app that does that yet. I would think that Canon (or another camera manufacture) would develop such an app and the ability from their cameras. There are already apps for transferring between iOS devices over BT.

Yes, I know the iPad has BlueTooth but I thought it was next to useless as Apple had basically blocked it for any "normal" use by day to day BlueTooth devices.

So I've never bothered. I have a lovely little BlueTooth GPS Unit that just "Works" with other things but I've not even attempted to use it on the iPad.
