Probably not, but that's just stupid]]>Jun 2nd 2010 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/I don't understand what the problem is -- why is a plastic piece with wires in it hard to manufacture and backordered for 3-4 weeks? You would think the iPad itself would be more rare -- but no, a small plastic USB dongle is...?? Doesn't make sense..
I wonder if you can make your own with an existing iPad USB cable?]]>Jun 2nd 2010 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/

I bought a 3GS when it came out, it replaced my really old AT&T Tilt, and it was great, but after a while, I noticed that the phone was not really the big deal that it was hyped up to be, and I ended up selling it, and getting a Nexus. Therefore unlike most trolls in this place, I gave the device with the all mighty fruit a try before i made the judgement. Also, while I looked at the forums on the device, I noticed that the people who purchase these devices feel like they are purchasing a lifestyle, not the device that they are paying too much for. And one last thing, the reason for my madness is not the device it self, its the way that apple does business, with people having to go way out of their way to jailbreak the dam thing. I mean google even posts on the android forums how to root and unlock the device. The feeling that the way and the features and ultimately the potencial of a device that you ultimately own is on the hands of one company, and the ecosystem supporting this device must go by the arbitrary rules that this one company makes. And yes i do know that im going to get downranked.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/

Apple decided it didn't need USB.

I wonder who got this one right; you, some random commenter, with notable credentials or successes. Or Steve Jobs?

Call me controversial, but I'm going with Jobs on this one]]>Jun 2nd 2010 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/They should really invent a smaller usb port standard then. But what to call it? Micro-usb, mini-usb? ]]>Jun 2nd 2010 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/
@grouver The thickest part of the iPad is thicker than a full size USB-port. The fact that the iPad becomes thinner at the edges has only to do with esthetic's. And even now they could provide mini or micro USB.

@pukerocket Yes, according to apple you don't need USB. That's why they have an overpriced USB adapter isn't it?

Given the they are selling out of USB dongles, Looks like people do want USB on the Jesus pad.
So
1) His turtleneckness was wrong, and people really want at least one USB socket.
2) Apple knew all along that people want a USB socket, but also knew that anybody gullible enough to buy the product is gullible enough to buy an over priced dongle to allow a feature that should have been built in from day one.

Not sure either shows Apple in a positive light. ]]>Jun 3rd 2010 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/
To many people on Engadget, everything is overpriced.

The most popular response when Engadget asks how to make something better is always "make it cheaper".

2 million ipads sold, how many bought these dongles?
