I've been using an iPad 2, 64G WiFi+3G, for about a year. It has become a nearly indispensable part of my day to day work and photography endeavors, as well as a source of leisure time enjoyment from reading books and watching videos.
- The Camera Connection Kit allows importing image files, both JPEG and raw, from any camera with either SD/SDHC/SDXC cards or that supports a USB connection. - Dropbox works very nicely to transfer files on and off the iPad. You can also move files on and off the iPad when you connect it to a Windows or Mac OS X computer using a variety of means (on Mac OS X: Image Capture, iPhoto, Aperture, and iTunes will all allow image transfers in both directions.) There are other apps available for the iPad that can utilize the wired transfer as well as WiFi transfers, like Good Reader. The iPad's 30 pin connector and cable has a standard USB 2.0 connection plug. - The number of excellent image processing and management apps available grows daily. Currently, I use Snapseed and Photogene, and just downloaded iPhoto. There's also PhotoRAW and piRAWhna that can process raw files. On my trip to the UK last October, I used the iPad exclusively to do everything I needed in computing for the trip, including reviewing and editing photos. It's a great machine for a whole lot of stuff, better than even I expected it to be. On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 12:46 PM, Don Guthrie <[email protected]> wrote: > I have I pad 1 16 gig.
