3-in-1 camera connection kit for iPad surfaces

Bangalore: A 3-in-1 camera connection kit for iPad has surfaced in the 'Made In China' online store that goes one step ahead of the Apple's two-piece iPad camera connection. The new kit offers two dongles comprising a USB port with a full-size SD and microSD card slot. Called the 3-in-1 iPad Camera Connection Kit, the device comes in two colors- black and white. It is available for pre-order at a price of $29. The delivery is expected only after Christmas though. The shipping price will cost you an extra $6.60. The thing to be noted here is this device is not made by Apple, but is brought to you by a Chinese 'knock off' manufacturer. The device uses just one dongle for three connections in place of Apple's two dongles for two connections. This is surely one up from Apple. We are waiting to see how Apple reacts to an accessory build by someone else for their product. What will Apple do now to wade of this competition from its path?
