How can we import files to iPad?
Sorry if I'm making a newbie question, but... Since the iPad won't have USB nor memory card slot, how can we upload our files into iPad? Let's say I have a 1GB video, or I want to upload all my ebook colection... How would I do it?

Someone here looked at the SDK documentation. The iPad actually has shared flash storage, and it should be possible to simply copy files over USB (iTunes not required).

It's not out yet but if it's similar to the iPhone, you would use iTunes to sync books and video.

That synch is through wireless? Then how long would it take to upload a video file?

Nate, what do you mean USB? There's no plug for an USB cable, or am I mistaken?

I'd like to see how that "camera kit" with SD slot will work. There's no way in hell I'd tether an iPad to the computers at work to trade documents around, and I'm not into cloud computing. Simple sneakernet would be plenty satisfactory.

They have a USB charge/sync cable that plugs in to the 30-pin dock port.

Does it not have a docking connector, like an iPod does?

Sync is done via an included cable. The cable has a dock connector on one end and USB on the other.

I plan to use the 1 TB Iomega Home Media Network plugged in my wifi network. It's been designed to be an iTunes repository. All my shared files will be on it in synch to be consulted by any and all my computing devices; and Apple TV .

Unfortunately, a lot of people are going to do like folks already do with the iPhone and treat the iPad like a backup device rather than as a mobile device .

The iPad will have a global folder in which applications can put files in and which can be accessed from a Mac or PC via USB and drag'n'drop. No iTunes needed (except for apps that depend on the iTunes library like iBooks). It remains to be seen if this will also be compatible with apps that rely on the iTunes library, though. iTunes on the Mac has a folder in which you can put music in to let it automatically add them to the library so maybe there will be such a feature on the iPad as well. But frankly, I wouldn't bet on it.

That's what I thought, which was why I was a little puzzled by Over saying that it didn't have USB support. Did you mean that it doesn't have USB host support, Over?

This is an old thread, before the iPad was released. Currently, most apps that let you read external files do it through a special section for each app, under Apps, in the menu that comes up when you sync.

No shared single file system on iPad.
