Guys, Is there anyway at all I can connect my USB pendrive / external hard disk to my Ipad / Ipad Mini?
Anyone tested and tried before?
Not quite for transfering files but rather for watching movie etc.

No idea how it will perform in IOS7

not possible for hard drive because the power is too low. youll need a USB reader with power hub to power the hard drive. However, please be noted you can only transfer pictures unless you jailbreak your iPad.
