Today my sister Tara came home with a brand new router for our home network. For the past three years we have had a wireless network on Wireless-G, I think. Now we are on Wireless N. This new router is amazing and the software that came with it is very cool. I connected everyone’s computers, iPads, iPods, Cell Phones and other devices to the Network. I connected so many devices that I ended up needing a second page to show me everything that was connected to the network. I was pretty amazed at how many devices would use the network at the same time. I got connectivity in the basement for the first time ever too.
I went to the Apple Store with Daniel M. Clark so that we could pick up iPad Camera Connection Kits (Aff Link). They are only $29.00 and come with an iPad to SD card connectors and also an iPad to USB connector.
I immediately returned to the Blogger Lounge and created a video. I was able to connect my SD card and also my Flip video camera. I tried to record a video and upload it from my Flip, KODAK PlaySport, and also my Canon SD800is. Photos came back from the Canon quickly, video also worked great from it. However importing video from the Flip showed nothing on the iPad. The KODAK PlaySport video did not show up either.
The limitations I am already seeing from this is that the photos load fine and that is what I figure the product is for so that is good however if you import video you don’t get it on the video side, it appears in the photo area. Not good. Also I have not found any way to upload the videos that I imported. Not thrilled with that.
I took a photo with my Canon imported it to the iPad with the iPad camera connector kit (Aff Link) and added it to this post. It appears on the bottom of the post. I would like to have much more control over everything in this endeavor. Not thrilled. Must find ways to make this work as I would like it to work.
