No, the iPad won‘t connect to your iPad. You need to transfer data to your iPad / iPhone using a computer. Is it possible to use the iPad Camera Connection Kit USB Adapter to hook up hardware like a USB Mouse or Keyboard? No. The Camera Connection Kit can only be used to hook up Digital Cameras to transfer photos. Can I use an UMTS Stick on it? No, that‘s not possible. I would like to print out my documents. Is that possible? No, but „there‘s an app for that“ Is the iPad capable of multitasking right now? No, but iPhone OS 4 will be available in a few months and it will be possible to do it then. (Apps like Safari, Mail and iPod are capable of Multitasking right now, too of course.) How much space for apps in the dock is there? Six is the maximum of apps in the dock. Is the integrated microphone better than the one of the iPhone? It is exactly the same technology, but the microphone is on top of the device and it is a little smaller. The sound is a little clearer than on the iPhone. Are the integrated speakers louder than they are on the iPhone? They are even a little louder than they are on the white MacBook. In fact the sound even without headphones is pretty impressive. Is there a way to connect a Bluetooth Headset for Skype? Yes, it works fine. Every Bluetooth Headset that can be paired to cellphones can also be paired with the iPad. Can I hook up every Bluetooth Keyboard with the iPad? No, the only Keyboard you can pair it with is Apple‘s Bluetooth Keyboard. Does the iPad support Flash Websites? No, Flash does not work and as far as we know it will never be available on any portable Apple Device. Does the iPad have a GPS Chip? Yes and no. The 3G Version does have a GPS Chip, the WiFi Version does not have one. The WiFi Version tracks your Position via WLAN. Is it possible to use all my eBooks on the iPad? The iPad is capable of eBooks in the ePub format - It‘s easy to convert all your books in this format. If you bought your books on amazon then you are good to go - Those are ePub Books. How can I transfer my old eBooks on my iPad? Simply by dragging them into iTunes on your Mac or PC.
