There are devices out there that will do this. They basically make their own network which the iPad joins, then you use their app to copy photos to/from the iPad. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is the AirStash, but there are at least two or three more products that work similarly.

CCR limited?

Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader - Apple Store (U.S.) I want to use that adapt. (card reader). but so sorry, oneway only. (SD-image/video file to IPAD only) do you know 3-rd hardware adapt. (card reader) can, any file SD card file to IPAD, and IPAD file to SD card. BOTH is it simply IOS protect, if that Jailbreak/Cydia completed. all ios service will be unlock? mean that CCR limited changed to unlimited?

You don't need to connect to Wi-Fi with the device twerppoet mentioned. It will build up it's own network. The iPad will be able to join this network. That way you can export or import the files.

It's not possible to export photos from the iPad Camera Roll to an USB flash drive just by inserting it to an adapter. Not with a stock iPad. Also, there's no app that could help you, afaik.

Please provide a much clearer explanation of your needs, i.e. are you traveling and will you ONLY have your iPad to take photos (no digital camera w/ a storage card, such as a SD)? Are you only interested in transferring pics taken w/ the iPad which will be stored in the native Photo app of the i-Device? Are you planning to take 'so many' photos that transfer to a SD card is needed?

If so, then the AirStash Wi-Fi device discussed will work for you - please do a 'search' on the forum using that term - there will be plenty of hits, such as THIS ONE; I've contributed to a number since I have owned one since last year. The device sets up its own Wi-Fi network which you join on the iPad; there is an app that is installed on the device and communicates w/ the AirStash - files can be transferred either to or from the device.

Now, most digital cameras will format a SD card w/ a special folder called DCIM (which is needed using the CCK, Camera Connection Kit) - this is NOT needed when installing a SD card into the AirStash device - just tested taking an image on my iPad 2 and was able to put the image (and 3 other ones in the 'Camera Roll', where your iPad images will be stored) on a SD card - the files were put just on the SD card and not in any special folder.

I would suggest exploring this SD device (there is a great review on Amazon and a number of threads in this forum) - purchase one and make sure you test the device before you travel - should fill your goal. Dave :)
