That is interesting. I wonder if that would work to connect a printed to the iPad? Also, I wonder if there is any (cheap) way to type things up in a program like Word and Powerpoint…
I didn't know you had to jailbreak the iPad to connect a flash drive. I wonder if the 2nd gen iPads will require this or will Apple have the foresight to accommodate this need.
