Does the Camera Connection Kit let me use all USB accessories with the iPad?

As we all know, the Apple iPad doesn't have any USB ports on it. This may be a little frustrating to everyone but it definitely it doesn't make the iPad any less of a device. Just recently though, the iPad Camera Connection Kit was released.

This kit comes with two dock connectors. The first dock connector is an SD Card Reader that allows you to upload photos and videos from your SD Card. The other dock connector has a USB interface that allows you to upload photos or videos directly from your digital camera.

Moreover, this dock connector with the USB interface can read other external devices aside from digital cameras. It can also be connected to external keyboards, mice, headphones or headsets, and many more. Although not all external USB device or add-ons can work on this dock connector, at least somehow we have a way to use a certain device that is USB supported.

USB microphones: Record higher-quality audio with an external mic, like the Snowball, which is compatible with the iPad via the CCK. With this setup, you can record voice directly into GarageBand or your preferred audio recording app. Desktop keyboards: Your USB desktop keyboard is much more comfortable than those cramped iPad keyboards.

Sure, it's not a portable solution, but if you find it necessary, you can plug in a regular keyboard to the CCK. Just ignore the warning message. Card readers: If your camera writes to a CF card, and you have a small CF card reader, simply plug it into the USB adapter and the iPad will read its contents.

Ripped movies: If you have any ripped movies or personal videos, you can use the CCK to add extra storage to the iPad. You'd only import a movie when you're ready to watch it. To do this, rename your movies to match the file name structure of your digital camera.

For example, "DCIM_4132." Then, drag the file into a folder labeled "DCIM" on an SD card or a thumbdrive. When you plug your SD card or thumbdrive into the iPad via the CCK, you'll be able to import the movie onto your iPad and play it from the Photos app.

Android phone: This works, but with some limitations. If you need to transfer photos from your iPhone to your iPad in a pinch, plugging it in via USB will prompt the photos app, allowing you to import photos. And, as long as your Android phone stores photos in a folder titled DCIM, it will react the same way.

After some testing, it's clear you cannot read or write nonphoto files to an external hard drive or thumbdrive. This would have been a great way to expand your iPad's storage. Alas, it's not (yet) possible.

If you discover any unique ways to use the Camera Connection Kit, let me know in the comments. Editors' note: This post was updated March 21, 2012, to include another way to use the CCK. Users can use the adapters to add extra video storage.

Thank you, Twitter user @talljonathan for the tip!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
