Hey all. Long time no see.

I'm looking at getting an iPad 2. I was wondering if there is a way to get my HHKB2 to work with it.
I saw it done with the first iPad using the camera adapter. Can this still be done?
Thanks sexys.

This adapter? Maybe I should try it with my ipad 1.

I recommend buying lots of iPads.

Do you work for Apple?

I should buy some AAPL stock myself, I don't think its likely they will go down any time soon: any new product range they start, its a success.

Thanks guys. So we are going with a 'yes' it should work. But does anyone know for sure? I read something about the latest OS killing this trick with the camera adapter. Can anyone try it to be sure?
Thanks again.

It doesn't work. It used to work with the old 3.2 firmware, but not anymore... in fact, most if not all, USB keyboard stopped working with the ipad + camera adapter.

I am running 4.3.3 on my ipad1 and it works for me. It will always say the USB device is not compatible with the camera adapter. Just tap OK. Then go to a text and type away. It did stop working once for whatever random reason. but a reboot of the device make it work again.

Geekhackers laughed when hyperlinked and I said the iPad would be huge.

I laughed when I first saw the iPad, just because I had a similar sized (and way more featured) tablet since 2003.

Jack Bauer and the CTU members had a lot of TC1000/TC1100 too...

We all laughed, but the only ones laughing now are AAPL shareholders! I can't believe there are STILL people lining up in some Apple stores at 5am.

I think that things can only getting worse.

I already thought that one day or another I'll decide to disappear as Ettore Majorana did when become aware of the incoming slaughter, due also to its contribution

Nice to see that, for now, a USB keyboard works with the camera adapter. Thanks for the video, noodles256.

Now I am wondering, if there is a way to have your iPad charging while using a USB keyboard. Maybe there is some sort of dock that serves as a USB hub? Perhaps one could modify Apple's iPad keyboard (which does charge your iPad while it's plugged in)?

Yes, thanks very much for the video.
I hope to get my ipad2 this week and then next month my lovely girlfriend is going to buy me a blank white HH to go with it.
Lovely.

Just tried this with hhkbpro2 and an ipad 2. It does not work, and no error message is displayed on the screen. My filco works just fine.

Damn.
