Impressive… I would really like to see Apps running off a flash drive… Possible?
does it work whit iphone too?
I’m thinking about buying an iPad, and flashdrive connection is really important to me. So great article.
Is it possible to edit documents on iPad and than save them on your flashdrive?
When i connected my flashdrive on my ipad. First time it detected after that its not. No message appears that the device is not supported. Tried with two flashdrives. Any idea?
device is not supported still can be explore using iFile. but, if come to not enough power, you cannot do anything. as ios 4.2.1 possible to mount any flashdrive. if below ios 4.1, it can easily explore using iFile if the message show device not supported.
I have need for an iPad or other tablet for use on the road but accessing a USB drive is critical and although I’m glad there is a “work-around”, I will not purchase a crippled product for my mission critical work. If iPad 2 resolves this issue then I’ll be there on day one.
When i connect the camera connection and my flash drive(4gb Scandisk) I get an error saying something like it uses to much power. Is there a model numbers of flash drives that someone has got working I would prefer an 8GB.
ThAnKs.
I’m getting the same error message, uses too much power – but have used the same USB stick a few months ago with no problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Will this work on a jail broken iPhone 4?
