camera connection kit USB

Hello, When I'm travelling I like to make create music on my iPad.

The USB camera connection kit is great even for plugging the tiny USB MIDI keyboards and work with GarageBand.

I find unbelievable that the same USB camera connection kit doesn't work with my new 4S. That's a very bad news.

Why don't make GarageBand compatible with this accessory even on the iPhone?

Thousands of musicians have an iPhone and will have a real benefit from the possibility to plug an USB MIDI device on the iPhone.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

The Camera Connection Kit is an iPad only device. It says so on the official Apple page, and most likely on the packaging of the product itself.

The fact is that is just a question of software, Apple could fix it anytime.

I believe that many people expect that one relatively expensive accessory can be used with ALL the i-Devices manufactured by Apple. Seeing the sentence "This accessory is not suppoprted" is nerving for customers.

This Connection Kit opens to musicians an incredibly wide range of opportunities to make what they love to do with the most lovely devices ever made for Music.

Is it possible to improve what is the best? I think yes.

Apple, just think different and make possible that iPod Touch, iPhone can be compatible with the Camera Connection Kit and MIDI devices. I think that I'm not alone, do you agree?

Sure, you may not be alone, but it's worth it to be educated about what you're buying.
