The iOS4.2 update for the iPad has left many owners angry.
They're the ones who bought Apple's £25 Camera Connection kit, which should let you connect a camera to an iPad to transfer pics. It also lets you connect other devices by USB, like keyboards and flash drives.
But, for many, it's stopped working with the iOS update.
It's because the new software has cut the power from the iPad's 30-pin connector from 100mA to 20mA. That means there's just not enough power for many devices to work - including Apple's own keyboard.
It's thought Apple did it to make the iPad battery last longer...but it's left many owners with a useless piece of kit.
It may be sorted out by another iOS upgrade, but what has Apple said about the problem?
Zilch. Nada. Nothing.
