Worth the read if for nothing else than a reminder about what you can do with the iPad.&nbsp;</p>

The movies from SD card trick has been very useful for me. Our camera shoots 1280x720 Quicktime video, 30 frames/sec at about 22,500 kbps. If I try to import the videos through iTunes, I'm told they can't be played on my iPad. However, if I import them directly from the SD card, they play beautifully from the Photos app.
