Thanks for your quick and thorough reply fatboy! Your answers provoke more questions from me (apologies if this is thread-hijacking, that's not what I intend!) .
1) I haven't bought an iPad yet so may well end up getting a bigger capacity one. If I have a bunch of mp3s on the SD card will they be readily available to the iPad iPod app or will I need to load them up to the main internal memory each time?
2) I know it's heard to say but even with the SD add-on, given that I'll likely throw on dictionaries/lots of games/apps etc, is it likely that 16GB will not be enough room for app installs and 32GB would be more adviseable?
3) (unrelated really) I had no idea about 4.3.3 being vital. I a fully aware it's very difficult to be certain but in your opinion do you think iPad2 iOS5 will be jailbreakable? Because if not I may well steer well clear of iPad altogether.

2) VERY unlikely you need more than 16G for APPS! ( unless you are crazy about >100 Mbyte action games...) Expecially now that you can move everything else to SD card ; I would go with 16G!
I thought I'd add this question here, if it belongs elsewhere, please let me know.
I often have to attend conferences. At these conferences, there used to be paper handouts. Now that many are "going green" we are simply given a USB flash drive. I don't like to bring a laptop to take notes, as my iPad lasts longer, is lighter, and is my preference. But now I cannot view the handouts, because I cannot plug in my "handouts" (which are on the USB flash drive.)
Without jailbreaking my iPad, is there anyway to make this work? I have bought the camera connection kit, but when I put in a flash drive (given at the latest conference) nothing happens. Would purchasing external storage make this work? Do I need to purchase the application FileBrowser? What can I do to use the USB flash drives given out at conferences so that I can still bring my iPad with me to take notes and not have to lug around a laptop?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Best regards,
Galaxy

Back before IOS4 it used to work fine. Okay, not quite fine, but you could fudge your way through by jailbreaking, installing iFile from Cydia and moving files manually into your iPad App's sandbox. Which meant you could take a load of movies on holidays and carry enough for weeks on end.
That all changed with IOS4. I've tried everything and I'm afraid it's no go.
I am jailbroken on 4.3.3. I have the CCK, and I am able, using iFile, to view pictures, play movies, view/edit documents from my jump drives or camera cards.

What a superstar - I'd given up hope.
Heading overseas for a year soon, if this works I will internet kiss you.
