iPad camera connect kit and iPhone 4

There was no mention of this with the iPhone 4 announcement.

Everything that has been announced to date regarding the iPhone 4 is available here.

TIA

The iPhone does not have an SD card slot, so how exactly do you propose using the iPad camera connection kit?

It's hard to tell at this point. They haven't said anything about it working or not working.

The Camera Connection Kit has a SD card slot. It plugs in to the 30-pin connector. SD>30-pin

I hope so, one of the first things I'm going to test.

The iPad Camera Connection Kit provides an SD slot to the iPad via the dock connector so that you can insert SD cards for transferring photos.

You can read all about it on apple.com

Can anyone test this today? I have phone but no kit.

Nope, doesn't work. Connected my SD card adapter using my Canon S90 SD card and it just pops up, 'unsupported accessory'. Then tried the USB adapter and got the same message.

Thanks for testing! It is disappointing though.

Any chance you'll try the camera kit with a usb keyboard?

I read that on the iPad people were getting "unsupported device" messages but keyboards and mics were working anyway.

Just interested to know if there is any upstream potential there. Then again, power might be an issue.

Hi Bob,

Just tried hooking up my USB Apple Keyboard w/number pad… no luck either. I don't have a PC USB keyboard or USB mouse around. I then tried plugging the USB adapter in by itself with nothing plugged in it and got the same 'unsupported accessory' message. It does seem to me too that it's a power issue. Looks like we're out of luck here. Here's to hoping there will be an update to support it, but I highly doubt it.

It is disappointing as I was hoping to use the iPhone to import photo's from friend's cameras, etc. when I didn't have my iPad or computer with me. It would've been convenient, oh well...

Thanks for trying!

I have an iPad and I've been trying to find a camera connection kit. They are harder to find than an honest banker.

I was really hoping I could use it for both gizmos. Had hope when I heard that the VGA adaptor was supposed to work on both i4 and iPad.

Oh well. Maybe there will be a software update. But I doubt it too.

Thanks again!
Bob

I have both iPad Wifi 64GB and iPhone4 16GB. Apple did this one right. Just plug in the camera connector with USB to the iPad, use your 30 pin to USB iPhone4 connector, and the videos/photos on the iPhone4 show right up in the iPad, select and transfer.

This means you can record on the iPhone4, HD video, and view it on the iPad. Yes, some will grouse that the camera should be on the iPad, and one day it will be. For now, however, the two are a great duo. I'm taking them both to China, with a Blue Mikey for CD quality audio.

I wish iMovie for iPhone4 was so good. It is not, yet, not nearly. Very disappointing.
