You will not be able to connect the blackberry, the Ipad os does not support it.
There is the camera connection kit that has an adapter for USB and SD: fastmacbookpro
Don’t think you can connect a blackberry to it, you would need to get the 3g version if you want mobile internet.
Personally I wouldn’t get one because I think its too big for my tastes and a little overpriced. Would maybe consider it if it was half the size and £100-150 cheaper. Gordon B
Well personally i don’t care for the iPad, Like you said there is no USB ports and The only way to get stuff on it is to download it from the built in wireless or connect it to your Mac or PC and the thing does not even come with headphones! Matt Wiebe
if it doesn’t have a card reader or usb ports and your going to need to connect a lot of peripheral devices like your camera then I suggest it isn’t the right device for you. RobertH
I personally believe iPad is just glorified piece of useless junk. Its highly over priced and doesn’t do a lot of stuff. It doesn’t support flash which kills the web experience. It doesn’t have card reader or USB. Which makes me wonder how can I transfer files without being connected to wifi or 3G?
The design is sort of flawed. I found it very difficult to hold it in one hand and type with other. OR just place it on my laps to type of both hands. Very inconvenient if you ask me.
I don’t think its worth spending so much for iPad. 53MalePrison
its very tempting to buy one, but for goodness sake stay away from Ipad, its just an oversize over price iphone. im sure 6 months down the line there will be an upgraded version like an ipad-i or ipad-s or what ever. the first versions is always the crapiest one, just take a look at iphone it took them 3 upgrades to make the the iphone a good phone.

Who gave you all these wrong information?
You can connect any camera,USB keyboard,headset and Memory card or USB hub to iPad through Camera Connection Kit that has two dongles, one for camera and the other one is for SD card.
You can import photos that includes Raw photos and video.
I don’t know about BB but I connect my iPhone and camera quite often.
Few people will say you need to buy Camera kit. But it’s available for only $29 what’s the big deal in it?
Although you didn’t ask but I am just giving you information that HULU,NETFLIX AND all other popular website with video content work flawlessly on iPad so don’t believe people who say it cant play online video since it doesn’t support Flash.
Flash is past all the websites have recoded their content into HTML 5 which is supported by iPad. iDevice.mobi
with a blackberry you could e-mail pictures and once you have them in your inbox, you touch AND HOLD it till a little box appears and you touch the SAVE PICTURE and you have it in your photos
and you would have to put documents in your inbox as well, or just connect it to your computer and then sync the things you need to it. hope all this helps. also it is really worth getting because there a great product and fun to have
