Is there a way to copy photos(JPEG or RAW) from CF card directly to iPad 2?

There is a Chinese company that made an adapter called MIC CF card adapter for iPad 2.
However, it literally fried the connector on my friend's iPad 2. Twice.... 🙁 The first
time the Apple Store replaced the iPad 2. The Chinese company sent a new replacement
MIC CF adapter. It worked well for a few days, until the connector fried again. this time
it also killed a Sandisk Extreme III 16GB CF card. The Apple Store refused to replace
or even repair my friend's iPad 2.

There has got to be a better way to do this right? 🙁

Thanks for any info! 🙂

There is no authorised accessory for direct CF imports. You need to use the USB cable from your camera and the camera connector kit.

I only got my iPad(64GB 3G AT&T) today.... got the Apple connection kit
from Best Buy as well...

Unfortunately, the iPad would not recognize my Canon D7 DSLR connected via
USB, no matter what I tried. I read in other photo forums that it's a hit or miss
with Canon DSLRs. 🙁

The connection kit worked fine when I connect it via USB to my cheap $99
drugstore digital camera which I keep in my glovebox. 😀 (but then again,
no need to do that as it uses SD cards)

There are third party offerings, I don't know if they are licensed accessories but the work.

That's exactly the one that fried both of my friend's iPads(2nd generation). 🙁

I would not want to risk my spanking-new iPad on it. 🙁

Just spoke with my friend who had the two unfortunate iPad frying incidents...

He went to another Apple Store after making a new appointment. This store's
Genius didn't say anything and just exchanged it with a brown box replacement
iPad. (to be honest, I think what my friend did was a little dishonest, as it was
a third-party accessory that killed his iPad... but then again.... )
