Help me,i already buy camera connector kit today buy if possible i dont want to use sd card because if i want to tranfer somethingfrom my pc,i still need to use card reader...

What happen if i insert my m2 memory card to card reader and connect it to the camera connector kit,is it possible for the ipad to read the files..thank you..

Check the specs, but I'd be very surprised if that drive doesn't need more than 100ma, which is the max the iPad will provide, even under iOS 3.2. Most Desktop computers provide 500ma.

But I see the drive does have a port for an external power supply. That should do the trick.

I have an ipad fw 3.2 and I don't want to upgrade to 4.x due to the fact that I still want to use my flash drive. In reading your response, the new fw does not allow is to use the apple connection kit right?
