Apple’s iPad Camera Connection Kit lets you directly connect a digital camera, or an SD memory card, to your magical device, saving you the hassle of having to sync to iTunes to view your photos on its large display. But what if your camera doesn’t use SD cards? And what if its USB cable went missing eons ago? Well in that case Lexar’s got your back since their new Multi-Card 24-in-1 USB card reader works with the iPad’s USB adapter. So instead of just SD cards, you can now access photos from a wide variety of memory card formats* directly from the iPad. It of course also works on a PC and has an ‘innovative’ pop-up design to protect the card slots when not in use. All that for just $29.99, though if you do intend to use it with your iPad, you’ll also have to shell out another $29 for the aforementioned Apple Connection Kit.
And if for some reason you don’t believe that such technological sorcery is even possible, I’ve included a video after the jump of Jeff Cable (Lexar’s Director of Marketing) demoing the reader with an iPad on location at a photoshoot.
