The little box that arrived in the post today made me very happy indeed. (I’m sad like that.)
I was told apon ordering that the Apple iPad camera connection kit would not arrive for 2 weeks. It took 4 days. Thanks eXpansys.
Twenty seconds after opening the box I had a full res image on the iPad. I had snapped a pic on my Canon Ixus 120is, placed the card in the reader and plugged it into the iPad. An import screen popped up immediately and with a touch of the screen I sucked the 12 megapixel image into the iPad. I then cropped it and added a border in the image editing app ‘Photogene‘ and pasted it in this email to send to my posterous. Painless, swift, and in my opinion I have doubled the usefulness of my iPad. Right, I am off to play more.. Apparently you can import video too. 🙂
