What do I need to get to be able to transfer the pictures from my Canon DSLR camera to my iPad? My camera uses a Compact Flash card. Thanks.

The Camera Connection Kit (CCK) is a fanatstic dock kit, best $29 I have ever spent! I take it on every trip, after a days' shooting the card pops into the CCK and the photos "magically" transfer to the iPad. You can clean them right off the card, freeing up more space, or hang onto them until copying them to the harddrive at home. Either way they are automatically saved to the iPad. So nice to share the days' photos and videos on the iPad with everyone at dinner!

Apparently you can use the CCK to watch movies on the iPad without using up memory: copy movies to the card, use the kit to view on the iPad. I havent tried this yet.

I also have a Canon DSLR; and the CCK works perfectly with my Pentax Optio underwater camera. Any similar size card will work.
