I could work with that.
How much are the adapters? They don't say. Well, it's new; they don't even sell the iPad yet. No harm, no foul.
The list of things it does includes a lot of things I don't. OTOH, it's a computer. Just add software. So, let's look at the App Store, and see if there's really an App for that. Nope, I'm not allowed to look at the App store; the link doesn't work. Again, it's new, they aren't selling them yet, etc.
Well, it's basically a giant iPod Touch. Let's see if IT has an App for that. Nope you seem to have to own a Touch to find out if there's a App in the store for what you want to do.
Sorry, Steve. It may be I'm looking in the wrong place for information, but if you can't make it easy for me to discover if your product does what I want it to do, don't expect a lot of sales.

? what?
Firstly a search on google using "iPad accessory prices" gives you the prices on the first link
http://obamapacman.com/2010/01/apple...essories-cost/
4. iPad Camera Connection Kit, Apple iPad Accessories Cost
2 ways to import photos and videos from digital camera, using camera’s USB cable or with SD card reader for media importing. iPad Camera Connection Kit cost ($29)
Well most people would not agree that its a computer in the traditional sense certainly not anymore than an Archos media player is a computer and as such you cant really have software as it is on a computer, most people are now starting to realise this. What you can do though is download apps to see if there is an app for what you want try.
I wasnt sure how to search for an app without iTunes because I always use that. so I searched in google using "how to search appstore" and it gave me this link which does exactly taht
http://www.uquery.com/ or you could start looking on the Apple website? -
http://www.apple.com/iphone/apps-for-everything/ but iTunes or the search page I linked are probably better if your looking for something less generic.
It seems apple dont have all this info up yet for their unreleased device, but it is there. Im sure apple will show this eventually for other people like yourself who are looking for specific things taht probably the general person visiting apple.com may not be looking for.
If you struggle using Google and the internet to find basic things posting on here is a good idea Im sure we can help out.
what is it you want to check if you can do with an app?
