IPAD CONNECTION KIT ( 5 IN 1 )

***THIS UNIT DOES NOT SUPPORT TV-OUT***

For connection to a TV there's a 3.5 mm jack that outputs video and audio. Although the video is only composite, so if you're looking to output video to a HDTV you'll probably want to go with Apple's offering that connects via HDMI and supports resolutions of up to 720p.

The MicroSD and SD card slots let you transfer pics from SD, SDHC and MicroSD cards, while the USB port means you can also pull images directly off a digital camera. The USB port can also be used to plug in a USB keyboard if you don't have a Bluetooth unit, while the micro-USB port can be used for charging when connected to an AC adapter and for data sync when connected to a computer.

The 5-in-1 Connection Kit for iPad works with iPads running iOS 4.1.0 to 4.3, with no guarantees that any future updates won't render the dongle partially or completely useless. It is also recommended that users not connect more than one device (in addition to the iPad) into the dongle at one time. It retails for US$44.99 and is available from USB fever.
