iPod Camera Connector with iPad

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

I have been wondering if the old iPod Camera Connector (M9861G/A) will work with the new iPad from Apple. It appears to be physically the same as the one shown as part of a set of two accessories for the iPad (iPad Camera Connection Kit) The new iPad Camera Connection Kit contains two adapters both have a 30 pin dock connector on one end and then they have either a usb port for connection of a digital camera or a SD card slot for putting the cameras sd memory card in. Both will allow the transfer of digital photos onto the iPad. The old iPod Camera Connector is the same as the one with the USB port connectivity.

I can not see any reason why you would need both parts of the set, and would suspect that most users will favour one method or the other. If this is the case and the iPod camera connector is also the same internally as the new iPad camera connector then for many including me this will be one accessory that will not require a further purchase.
