Apple want you to buy all content through them or their partners, even for stuff you already own, so they deliberately make it difficult as hell to get anything else on to their devices.

I agree they want to keep you in their ecosystem but it certainly doesnt make it as difficult as hell to get anything else on their devices. Your starting to sound like Marleyboy and their uninformed and wrong posts.

Want to add your own mp3s bought elsewhere? Add them to iTunes and it will automatically sync to your iDevice. Pretty much the same as everything else.

As to the OPs question. You can transfer pictures from your camera to your iPad without your laptop if you want but you need to by an adapter to do it. Apple themselves only make an SD one (but then most cameras use SD these days) but plety of third parties make ones for other card formats like MS or CF

This is limited to getting pictures onto your ipad and doesnt make the connected memory stick an expansion of the iPads core memory etc

Dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/ is available for a number of platforms, including the iPad.

I'm not particularly 'tekkie', but I find the free program called CopyTrans Manager is easy to use and lets you do all sorts of things. If you check on youtube, you can see some demos. I've used it, for example, to transfer MP3s (copied onto my laptop from CDs legitimately bought) onto my mate's iPad. All I used was the attachment that links the iPad to the laptop. (I forget the proper term; told you I wasn't tekkie) Never went near iTunes to do it - just simple drag & drop. You put the MP3s into the program and export them into the iPad. Works for photos & other stuff too

I have an Ipad and I use Syncios. I have transferred books, video
and MP3s from my pc to the Ipad with no problem

marleyboy - you've already taken a bit of a beating here for your further posts, but I would suggest you shouldn't have posted. In post numbers 9 and 22 you admit to not using products, then tell complete lies about them - that's not useful to anyone looking for information.

I wouldn't really know, as I use mp3 NOT iTunes,

mp3 is an audio file format, iTunes is an audio (media these days) player. It does play mp3. This is like saying MS Word doesn't open .doc files!

As far as I am aware, there are NO apple products that would play mp3 tunes.

You just made this up in your own head!

iBooks uses the ePub file format, in common with every other ebooks provider except Kindle.

iBook (Apple)
The .ibooks format is created with the free iBooks Author ebook layout software from Apple. This proprietary format is based on the EPUB standard, with some differences in the CSS tags used in an ibooks format file, thus making it incompatible with the EPUB open standard.
