Can we connect any USB device to iPad 4?

Hello, can we connect USB devices to iPad 4? If yes, then how can we?
Thanks.

Hmm, well, I guess it depends on the particular device. I can connect External USB HD's and USB flash drives but let us know what you want to connect and we can hopefully give you better advice.

A USB modem.

A USB modem.

I'm not aware of any way to connect a USB modem to an iPad, AFAIK you can only use a wifi connection or the built-in cellular connection (if you have a cellular iPad).

External hard drive

If you want to connect a hard drive wirelessly to your iPad then this will do it http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-connect/75570-cloudftp.html

NOTE: the device is now called iUSBport

You CAN connect a USB "modem" (AKA "Surfstick") using the same iUSBPort Gabriel1 uses to connect his external Hard Drive. At least this is what the user manual says...

That is interesting, I know there have been quite a few updates since I last used mine so I need to shake off this tardiness and get myself up to date.

Just to avoid any angry words or thoughts later on:
This is how I do understand the user manual... I did not try it out, although I plan to do it...
Will update here once I tried!

There is another item I use to stream files and transfer files to my iPad. It is called the Wi-Drive made by Kingston. I have the 64GB one but they also make a 32GB and 128GB. It works great and three devices can connect at the same time. I can also use it as a bridge and provide internet to up to three of my friends devices.

Just search for Kingston Wi-Drive.
