Okay. I see the picture and here is the text: iPad Camera Connection Kit The Camera Connection Kit gives you two ways to import photos and videos from a digital camera. The Camera Connector lets you import your photos and videos to iPad using the camera’s USB cable. Or you can use the SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from the camera’s SD card. +++ This tells the consumer that one may use this device to import photos and videos to their iPad. What of other forms of data typically associated with USB as a means of transfer? Text files? Files, other than photo or video, that may want to be used with some of the apps available? I am only left to guess. Hey, isn't that thingy the mess of wires dragging around that you were saying Apple eschews in their visions of the future, which by the way, is like in the next five minutes or less. Personally, I am never in the future anyway, only in the present, and the present has ports on most computers, and you know what, they get used. I'll bet that you are using at least one right now, or at least have it hooked up.
