Certainly. *Especially* when you want to transfer some photos from your digital camera to the iPad.

Too bad that it just does not work for the iPad without hooking it up to yet another gear -- I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

So what? What has that to do with the fact that the iPad isn't supposed to be an oversized extremely overpriced iPod? >> And what is this "not keeping the story straight" thing? > > you said you want usb ports to plug in peripherals but then put a > limitation on how big they can be. can't have it both ways. This is the second time you are putting words in my mouth in just one short post. Lying seems to be the only thing you do regularly. Not surprising, you are a apple fanboi and cult member >> It was you fanboiz who tried every trick in the book to obfuscate the >> fact that your overpriced toy does not even have something as simple >> and basic as a USB connector > > a lot of devices don't and it doesn't seem to be a problem. A lot of devices don't pretend to be something like a computer -- If you had any brains, you'd be dangerous.

It will probably be adequate for casual peepers, for the basic reason that they're not going to have many pics and those that they do have will be JPEGs. However, trying to use it as a photographer's "Digital Wallet" is problematic because of its relatively small 16-32-64GB storage capacities. For a baseline, Hyperdrive's current product line now starts at 160GB and has sizes up to 640GB. > >> A typical user is occasionally going to want to connect to > >> an Ethernet cable. > > > it's *far* more convenient to use wifi. > > Certainly. *Especially* when you want to transfer some photos from your > digital camera to the iPad. > After all, everyone and his cat knows that cameras *always* have WiFi > built in If you've been paying attention to the camera market, you would know that WiFi is one of the new emerging camera features.
