Soon enough you'll be able to transfer photos from your digital camera straight to your Xoom, provided you're willing to shell out $20 for the Xoom Camera Connection Kit. We already knew that the tablet was capable of reading USB drives with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/12/xoom-gets-usb-host-functionality-no-thanks-to-motorola-or-googl/">a little trickery</a>, but Motorola's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/motorola-xoom-software-update-brings-ssl-and-widevine-drm-no-lt/">upcoming update</a> will officially unlock that functionality (albeit in a limited form). The glorified micro-USB cable isn't available online yet, but we've heard if you call Verizon and ask nicely for item number MOTMZ600ADPKIT they're more than happy to send one your way. If asking for a random series of letters and numbers seems a little strange, just pretend you're a secret agent and it's some kind of cipher -- preferably one that doesn't remind you to drink your Ovaltine.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/29/xoom-camera-connection-kit-makes-us-lust-for-photoshop-on-honeyc/">Xoom Camera Connection Kit makes us lust for Photoshop on Honeycomb</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 29 Apr 2011 11:39:00 EST.

First the kit was nearly <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/">impossible to find</a>, and now we're seeing a slew of user reports saying that iOS 4.2 has made the USB portion of the camera kit nearly useless for many USB devices that were previously supported. As <em>9 to 5 Mac</em> reports, the problem seems to boil down to the amount of power that can be emitted from the iPad's 30-pin connector -- it used to be 100mA, but iOS 4.2 appears to have cut that down to just 20mA, presumably in an attempt to conserve battery life. The big issue there, of course, is that everything from USB keyboards to microphones and even some cameras no longer work, and there isn't much for users left to do other than to hope that Apple brings back support in a future update. Feel free to share your own tales of woe in comments, or let us know if you're having problems with the iPad camera kit.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/06/ios-4-2-said-to-blocking-ipad-camera-kit-from-supporting-some-us/">iOS 4.2 said to be blocking iPad Camera Kit from supporting some USB devices</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 06 Dec 2010 12:59:00 EST.

Here's a little nugget you may not have already been aware of -- Apple's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iPad/">iPad</a> is only capable of registering USB hard drives (via the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/ipad-camera-connection-kit-a-commodity-item-now-fetches-100-o/">Camera Connection Kit</a>, of course) that are 32GB or smaller, which may or may not bum a vast majority of you out. Thankfully, Sanho's latest and greatest <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/HyperDrive/">HyperDrive</a> was tailor made to circumvent that limitation, and it just so happens to be the company's most capacious. Checking in with 750GB of open space, this unit boasts a "patent pending ability to turn individual file folders into virtual 32GB drives on the fly that are readable by the iPad," and as you'd expect, there's also a CompactFlash and Secure Digital slot for offloading images directly from your camera's memory card (at up to 40MB/sec). There's even a 3.2-inch QVGA color display, support for JPEG and RAW files and the ability to act as a vanilla USB hard drive; it's available now for $599, though smaller versions are available for those with less pocket change. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sanho-hyperdrive-for-ipad/">Sanho HyperDrive for iPad</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sanho-hyperdrive-for-ipad/#3338513"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/hyperdrive-for-ipad-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sanho-hyperdrive-for-ipad/#3338514"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/hyperdrive-for-ipad-2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/07/sanhos-750gb-hyperdrive-photo-backup-hdd-plays-nice-with-your-i/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sanho's 750GB HyperDrive photo backup HDD plays nice with your iPad</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/07/sanhos-750gb-hyperdrive-photo-backup-hdd-plays-nice-with-your-i/">Sanho's 750GB HyperDrive photo backup HDD plays nice with your iPad</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:38:00 EST.

Now that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/ipad-camera-kit-ships-with-usb-headset-and-keyboard-support/">USB-wielding</a> cat's out of the bag, it's looking like supplies of the iPad Camera Connection Kit aren't keeping up with demand -- one Engadget reader tipped us off to the fact that the $30 attachments are worth up to $180 on eBay. A quick bit of sleuthing showed that Apple's actually still selling the things -- they're simply backordered, with a three to four week shipping delay -- but sure enough, niche e-tailers currently list the dongles for as much as $150, and eBay auctioneers are finding the kits sell for two to five times the original MSRP. If your <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/ipad-spirit-jailbreak-camera-connection-kit-external-hdd-sup/">external HDD experiments</a> didn't work out the way you'd liked, at least you can be sure you'll get your money back. <br />

Max Shay has an exhaustive walkthrough at his personal website, but the gist of the matter is that you'll need a jailbroken iPad, a split-USB cable to give that drive some extra juice, and a terminal of some sort (Max used his MacBook) to trick the iPad into mounting your external storage, after you use SSH to tunnel through. The result is an unwieldy wired assembly we wouldn't be caught dead with in public, but perhaps useful in a pinch -- or as the latest proof of what the iPad could do if only Apple <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/adobe-decries-apples-walled-garden-yet-pledges-best-tools/">would let it</a>.

Reports are coming in that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/camera+connection+kit/">iPad Camera Connection Kit</a> has finally shown up on a couple buyer doorsteps, and that the pair of white dongles may actually have been <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/ipad-camera-connection-kit-finally-surfaces-for-pre-order-still/">worth the wait</a>. While one is a simple SD card adapter that adds one-touch image and video import (including RAW, complete with EXIF data) to the iPad, the second provides a USB port with some exciting new functionality. <em>TUAW</em> reports one reader could type on an iPad via USB keyboard, and those <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/apple-looking-to-hire-camera-expert-ipad-camera-kit-to-support/">rumors about USB audio</a> were true, too:<em> TidBITS</em> was actually able to make a Skype call after connecting a USB headset. Before you get too excited, however, please note that the USB and SD image transfers are one-way, and not all peripherals are supported -- for instance, <em>TidBITS</em>' iPad sneezed at an external hard drive. Also, according to the Apple Store, Camera Connection Kit shipments are still two to three weeks out, so don't be surprised if it still takes some time to get yours. For now you can make do with the video after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/ipad-camera-kit-ships-with-usb-headset-and-keyboard-support/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>iPad Camera Kit ships with USB headset and keyboard support</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/ipad-camera-kit-ships-with-usb-headset-and-keyboard-support/">iPad Camera Kit ships with USB headset and keyboard support</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 25 Apr 2010 13:34:00 EST.

<div style="text-align: left;">We know it's been hard to deal with the comparative lack of iPad rumors now that the thing has actually be released (in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/ipad-international-launch-delayed-until-the-end-of-may/">some places</a>, at least), but we've got a bit of a treat today: not one but two camera-related iPad rumors. The first comes courtesy of an Apple job posting for a  Performance QA Engineer for iPad media who, among other things, must rely on their "knowledge of digital camera technology (still and video) to develop and maintain testing frameworks for both capture and playback pipelines." While anything to result from that may have to wait until iPad 2.0, Apple software engineering manager William Stewart has dropped another interesting detail on an Apple mailing list concerning the soon-to-be-available <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/CameraConnectionKit/">Camera Connection Kit</a>. Apparently, in addition to accommodating your digital camera, the USB adapter will also support class-compliant USB audio devices -- although that is yet to be confirmed by Apple itself. Of course, you'll also need some apps to take advantage of that, but Stewart seems to also imply the necessary functionality is at least already built into the OS, which would seem to make apps only a matter of time. We'll let you take the speculation from there.</div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/apple-looking-to-hire-camera-expert-ipad-camera-kit-to-support/">Apple looking to hire camera expert, iPad Camera Kit to support USB audio?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:59:00 EST.

Even as cases, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/ipad-has-optional-keyboard-dock/">keyboards</a> and all sorts of other <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/apple-ipad-the-definitive-guide-so-far/">iPad</a> accessories surfaced for pre-order, the camera kit remained nowhere to be found. Over the weekend, the $29 adapter bundle finally found a home at the outfit's website  (with a "late April" ship date), offering users a pair of dongles to support USB and SD cards. Of course, one could easily argue that the iPad should have native support for both of these widely used formats without forcing users to lug around <i>two</i> extra peripherals, but if that were the case, this thing just <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/new-ipod-shuffle-requires-extra-adapter-for-third-party-headphon/">wouldn't be an Apple</a>, now <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-usb-ethernet-adapter-brings-rj-45-to-your-macbook-air/">would it</a>?<br />

<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Apple/">Apple</a> didn't give us a great amount of time with its newly unveiled <a href="http://www.engadget.com/product/apple-ipad">iPad</a> today, and as you've likely seen, we spent the bulk of our allotment <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-ipad-first-hands-on/">touching the unit itself</a>. Lost in the proverbial shuffle were a number of the unit's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/ipad-has-optional-keyboard-dock/">launch accessories</a>, including the admittedly intriguing keyboard dock ($69), case ($39), iPad Dock Connector to VGA adapter ($29) and camera connection kit ($29). Each of these doodads seem to look and feel exactly as you'd expect 'em to, though we're still baffled by Apple's decision to make you pay extra for access to the world's most widely accepted connector. We're also somewhat appalled (but not surprised) by the $39 price tag purportedly attached to the stripped-down case, and while the $69 MSRP on the keyboard dock is apt to cause some grumbling, at least there are a few iPad-specific keys on there to make it (marginally) worth your while. Dig in below for more on each.<br />
