Thank you
The good news is this. USB drives do mount properly and show up in the system as /dev/disk2s1. Yay. You can even add more drives via a hub. The iPad supports both FAT and HFS+ drives.
The bad news is this. As iPhone developer Dustin Howett discovered, that mount point is sandboxed away from normal developer use. You cannot read from or write to that disk using standard iPhone SDK applications.
Does anyone know if I can access the iPad’s camera connection kit? I want to read files from a connected mass storage device. Is this possible or is only something Apple can do in their app.
Thank you
I know this is an old question, but Google brought me here, so I think I will add this link for the next person.
