USB with my ipad
hi there,
I have an ipad1 and want to know if I buy a Camera Connection Kit can I plug in a USB memory stick and watch TV and film through it.
thanks.

iPod touch, iOS 5.0.1, I access the web using wi-fi
In the past I've copied an MP4 film via an SD card with the kit to a first gen iPad and been able to play it, but a film bought from iTunes didn't play (you can't copy content to the Videos app via the kit, only to the Photos app). Also the kit only recognises content that is in a particular format - the card has to have a DCIM directory off its root, with the photos/videos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus file extension.
A lot of memory sticks require more power than is supplied to the kit, so you would be better off using SD cards.
