Hey guys new to the iPad world.... I always thought I had enough in my laptop and iPhone but I knew that wouldn't last long......

I've got an original ipad that's jailbroken and running os 3.2.2.... Ive got ifile on it and my biggest question is what the best way for me to expand my memory for traveling... I've got a good 80gig of movies I want to take with me and my only external hard drive isn't portable.

My camera kit is on the way and I have a 16gb Card coming also...

So here's my question...... Ive got an old 5th gen iPod classic 80gb I can transfer the majority of my videos to.... Is there any way possible for my iPad to read the video files on it? Would I need a powered USB port? Any ideas here?

Thank you!!!!

If u don't mind the money, hypershop has a 320 gb portable hd, made just for iPad. Looks to b the size of a iPhone 4. 200 smackaroos tho.

Very nice! Just added a bookmark to that site. Thank you!

Ouch ya for now that's a little steep but tempting ... I'd really like o get into if I can get that ipod to work :-/

Yep, that's a great idea. It should work. You are jail broken and have ifiles. Transfer ur movies to the iPod. Then hook up to iPad using USB CCK. Then open up ifiles. It should pop up as a flash drive. Then u can see every single file or vid that's on the iPod. Good thinkn...now I wish I would've kept my iPod, could've used it in the same matter. Let us know how it went as it "should" work ;-)

The only think I'm worried about is the powering USB issue ..... I'll keep everyone posted!

Fantastic!

Here's a link. HyperDrive

I wonder why those drives are on preorder only? Apple restrictions?

Check out www.airstash.net. It works great for videos, music, and docs!

Shoot, $99 for the case that will support any 2.5" SATA drive. I'd get that, as I have some 2.5" SATA drives sitting around. Spendy but cheaper than the other models of HDDs they have. HOWEVER, I kinda like the case that has the SD and CF slots built into it.

I like the ones with the screen and cards too! They'll be handy to preview pictures. Won't be long before I order one. Hope they have delivery to Canada without complications!
