OK, I have the Apple Camera Connection Kit. I can import my images just fine.
So the silly question of the day is this: Why can't I also import .doc and .txt files? It would be convenient to do that. As far as my simplistic reasoning goes, it should it make a difference what kind of file is on the card; the only problem is running or opening files the iPad does not recognize.
I'll gladly accept a few links to a technical explanation should you not want to answer here on the list. Or please answer; I know it is a basic question.
I can see not being able to run Windows EXE files, or perhaps standard OSX files. Seems to me, there has to be a way to do what it is I want to do. In an ideal world, I could create folders on the SD card, too.
Does the IOS software look at the headers in the actual file?
I just jailbroken my iPad and perhaps there is an app for my needs?
