Just not directly. You need just another totally useless gadget, to get functionality anyone outside of the apple cargo cult would take for granted -- Try to be the best of whatever you are, even if what you are is no good.

Are you Snit Michael Glasser? Or OxRetard? Only those could actually be stupid enough for this kind of bullshit What part of "the iPad does not have a USB connector" was too difficult for you? Any connectivity aquired by hooking the iPad to another device does not count as "the iPad having that capability". -- If you're right 90% of the time, why quibble about the remaining 3%?
