Ok I have A Canon dslr and alot of pics get put on my mac book and would love to get them over to the Ipad2 which way is best? Is there a way to hook up my compact flash card or camera to the ipad and avoid the mac book all together?
It sounds like you're looking for the iPad Camera Connection Kit (http://store.apple.com/us/search?find=iPad+Camera+Connection+Kit) that allows you to plug your card or camera directly into an accessory connected to your iPad's dock connector.
