First, the price of the Camera Connection Kit is $29. That is not a whole lot, but some may not find it necessary to pay such a price to simply transfer photos and videos. Now, let's take into account some of its hidden powers, and you may change your mind about picking up this accessory in the future. Use it with USB keyboards Although the iPad's on-screen virtual keyboard works well for typing, it can be unconventional to some and tiring to use over long periods of time. A standard full-sized keyboard is the likely choice for those who are writing long term papers or emails. You could buy the iPad Keyboard Dock for $69, but why? If you have an old USB keyboard laying around, use it with the Camera Connection Kit's USB connector. The piece is nothing revolutionary, and is really just another USB dock that will work with most standard USB keyboards. If a message appears onscreen saying that the accessory you attached will not work, do not fret. Simply get rid of the message, and give the keyboard a try. It likely will be functional, and you will have a standard keyboard to use while also saving money. Use it with a USB microphone The iPad does come with an integrated microphone, but if you are looking for some better performance, a USB microphone would do the trick. Using the USB connection of the kit, you can connect an external USB microphone to the iPad. This is ideal if you use the tablet to chat on services like Skype. There is nothing more frustrating than having a conversation that is marred by poor audio quality, so step things up a bit with a USB microphone. You won't have to worry about performing any great audio configurations either, as the iPad should recognize the microphone and work it into your chats. Those are just a couple of ways to get a little bit extra out of the iPad's Camera Connection Kit. Stay tuned, as there are more on the way that will help you save your hard earned cash.
