Yes and no. First the iPad doesn't have any USB host built in. For that you need the camera connection kit. This is actually two accessories in one: An SD card reader and a USB host. Now without jailbreaking these two accessories are limited to previewing and importing photos and certain video files into the internal memory. Oh, and it unofficially supports USB Keyboards, though with very little power supplied through the adapter you either need a powered hub in-between or a very energy efficient keyboard. If you do jailbreak, and install a file manager, then these are quite a bit more versatile.
Beyond that some apps let you transfer or stream data over WiFi, or use online storage solutions like dropbox.
