Apple’s Camera Connection Kit for iPad is a pretty useful set of dongles for the on-the-go photographer, but it does seem somewhat redundant: why did Apple need to display two different dongles when it could have designed one dongle that read USB and SD cards simultaneously?
Such was the thinking that lead us to admire August’s 2-in-1 Camera Connection Kit for iPad, which smashed together both dongles into one converging, dual-purpose accessory.
Pretty neat, but the fancy lads over at MIC have just one-upped the 2-in-1 Camera Connection Kit… literally. Meet the 3-in-1 Camera Connection Kit for iPad, replete with a USB port, an SD card slot and a microSD card reader.. all for only $29.90. Take that!

I’m truly annoyed (and a little baffled, Jobs’ well-known idiosyncrasies notwithstanding) by Apple’s persistent closed, crippled systems. It’s been an issue since, oh, say 1984 or so, when the original Macs did away with the Apple II’s much-loved openness. The iPad is a killer solution for all kinds of things that it simply can’t be used for because Apple thinks that it knows best.
Harrumph.
