Mobile device compatibility used to be so simple and lightweight travel friendly -- 6 years ago I'd take photos on a miniSD with SD adapter, then pop the miniSD card alone into my Nokia Series 60 phone and upload via WiFi (a MB was ~$10 back then over GPRS). Ah, things were so simple before Apple. Steve, you better have good things to say this week, otherwise Android, you win. Sigh.

But the previous camera connector for iPods never worked for the iPhone, I'm not sure why they don't support it...perhaps it's a graphics processing issue?

That would be absolutely killer for lightweight travel.

I've also tried RAW, JPG and RAW JPG with no difference. As I understand it, when you deal in RAW only, the files may not be easily emailed since it tries to send the actual RAW file, not the JPG preview it creates for the camera roll. Worse case, you can simply screenshot the JPG preview full screen and send that. Unfortunately, due to the iPad's capacity (and my penchant for shooting a ton of photos per session), I'm not likely to only use this setup for publishing exclusively but it's a great way to view photos without a laptop and publish a few keepers on the go.

How does that portion work? For those who have cameras that don't have SD compatible bodies. I want an iPad now! lol
