    It doesn't FULL STOP

    Using a combination of the camera connect kit one can transfer photos but not documents as th epower requirement would be too large

    i have seen some youtube videos where people have jailbroken theior ipad and can using the camera connection view and import other documents, but i would advice jail breaking

    Loads of other option for transferring files, personally i use dropbox

    So no ability for an external hard drive or installing files off a USB stick. Madness.

    What do you want to use it for? There's no real need for it in my experience.

    Was given a USB stick from work with 3 gig of files on it. Told to email it to myself to install it. What a load of balls

    Not really true, you can get adapters.


    Anyway, there's a thread here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056731398

    A contender for worst first post ever...

    Are you referring to the iPad in general OP? If so, what took you so long to ask - its on its 3rd generation now, a bit slow off the mark.

    "iPhone having no FM radio....whats the story?"

    A DVD drive would be handy too. Apple made a decision that it wouldn't provide enough benefit or be economical to include it. Exactly the same as they did with USB

    Wouldn't bother me about the DVD drive. Just the USB.

    ...and? I assume you're not expecting Apple to cater to every single individual who decides they'd like a particular feature, so what's the point of the thread?

    An external DVD could run off a fcuking USB port. Happy days!

    I wasn't debating it, I asked you what the point of the thread was. You don't seem to be looking for alternatives, you don't seem to be suggesting Apple should include it in the next iPad, you don't seem to want to discuss the pros and cons of including it, so..... what's the point of the thread?

    If you looking to put movies on it from your laptop, you can get an app called goodplayer... It transfers using wifi. I highly recommend it, it's one of my favourite apps

    In fairness, I would have said a few months ago that I wouldn't touch an iPad because of the lack of USB. Bought one on a visit to the US in a moment of weakness and haven't looked back since. I now regret splashing out on a new laptop some months ago!! I bought Documents To Go for about a tenner and use that to synchronise content between my laptop and iPad over my wifi connection. Works great. iCloud would be much the same but I have always sworn by Documents To Go. If you want transfer movies, AVPlayerHD is a good option also

    Give the iPad a month or two and come back to say what you think....

    Knock knock...anyone there?
    The thread title speaks for itself. Obviously I want apple to do something about it(if it's not another adobe situation). Stop making so many assumptions and make a bit of a constructive contribution..otherwise pop off. Goldfish stuff

    Constructive contribution? Here it is: they're not going to do it. Move on

    Thanks for the good input. Will give those a go I reckon. Not happy with the lack of USB obviously enough. Can only go around the issue.
