    None of us know for sure and probably can't find out until ipad4's start showing up and are able to be experimented with.

     

    I personally could see the SDXC maybe happening, but not the USB.

        •    Mass Storage Device protocol

        •    SDSC

        •    SDHC

    Yes - the 'old' Camera Connection Kit... But we're curious about the new Lightning - SD adapter. Impatiently awaiting similar article about the new product since the details on the store are limited.
