Micro usb = usb.......its a usb input plain and simple. Usb to micro usb cord, problem solved.Well, keep in mind that the Xoom doesn't have SD/CF slots either. It only has a micro SD slot. At least with the iPad, you can get the Camera Connector Kit specifically to offload SD and CF cards. Also keep in mind that the Xoom doesn't have USB or Firewire ports either. It has a micro USB port.I would definitely say no. It doesn't support Flash, doesn't have ports such as USB or FireWire, and doesn't have an SD/CF card slot. I would highly recommend the Xoom instead.So, is the iPad a worthwhile tool for a professional photographer?
Would you recommend one?
Do you use one?
If so, what software makes it compelling for a photographer?
No FireWire. And BTW, I don't think anyone should ever expect any tablet to have a CF slot. Heck, not even much larger and thicker laptops have CF slots!
--If you want Flash on the iPad, just use iSwifter:

Another option is Skyfire:

These iPad browsers allow you to view and use Flash sites.
Right now, the Xoom doesn't have Flash support anyways. So ironically, the iPad that supposedly doesn't have Flash support actually gets Flash before the Xoom that supposedly does have Flash support.
