Maybe someone can shed some light on this the ipad camera kit comes with a USB port correct? So would it be possible to use that to import let's say documents?
Got a tip for us?

I think its called a Camera Kit for a reason. It will import pictures and movies from a CAMERA
I can definitely see some custom app (jailbroken one) that utilizes the USB for other kinds of documents.
We will no doubt see this.

At least in one area of Apples Web site, it mentions the Camera Connection Kit as being able to import Video also.
Which raises two questions:
1. Where do those imported videos go? The Videos.app? Or the Photo.app?
2. Can I store .M4V or .MP4 videos on an SD card, and use the SD Card Reader to Dock adapter to import new movies into my iPad?
As for anything else looks like its not happening at least with 3.2. Maybe theyll offer something more with 4.0.

jaw, it's likely not going to happen within Apple's limitations anyway, it will probably come with a jailbreak related thing. Any type of file can come through USB, its just you have to have the right software to recognize the files and read them.
Hey man, no reason to come off like that, just a question and a valid one at that, this is why forums can be vexing, there always one or two......
I would like to see "and most likely will" jailbreak apps that allow program execution from a flash drive
Not sure but I'll buy the kit and check it out, worse case if I can't use it I'll return it

I was wondering this too. If you get the USB connection kit, you could theoretically connect a Flip video camera . . . but would the video transfer? Hopefully someone will try.
