A lot of Android people will knock iPad for not having expandable storage, even though it does. If you have some SD cards and even some USB flash drives lying around, then you can most likely use them with your jailbroken iPad as an external storage device. You'll also need a camera connection kit, which can be purchased for $5 on eBay or for $30 from Apple.
A jailbreak is required because you'll be using a jailbreak-only application called iFile. Once installed, simply take your SD card or USB flash drive, insert it into your camera connection kit, plug it into your iPad, and fire up iFile. Within a few seconds, you'll see the device in the left sidebar in iFile called Flash Drive. Tap on it, and you'll be able to browse, open, and edit the files. You can also copy files from your iPad's internal storage, and even from Dropbox (if you have that enabled in iFile's settings).
Virtually any SD card (or microSD card when using a microSD > SD adapter) will work just fine, but a lot of USB flash drives won't. I have a collection of 8 drives, 5 of which don't work. For the 3 that do work, their capacities are 4GB, 1GB, and 1GB. The two 1GB drives also have a red LED on it, and they're powered just fine. The iPad will say, for the 5 drives that don't work, that the device is drawing too much power from the iPad and won't be used. If you're light on flash drives and aren't sure of which ones will work, you're better off using SD cards.
This setup works extremely well, and can be useful for a number of different scenarios. For example, let's say that your iPad is very low on storage, there's nothing that you can delete that you can't live without, and you want to transfer a movie to it. Simply copy the movie to a USB flash drive or SD card, and you're good to go.
Maxell will announce and demonstrate new photo storage, sharing and backup capabilities for the second generation AirStash at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show. AirStash is the first and only wireless flash drive which uses infinitely expandable SD card media to provide true two-way wireless storage for the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and other wireless devices. With the upcoming version of the AirStash+ companion app, you can snap photos around the world without worrying about running out of iPhone storage or accidentally losing your captured memories. Stop waiting for slow and costly cloud uploading and feel free to leave your laptop at home — just backup your precious photos and videos to the pocket-sized AirStash.
Enjoy your vacation and capture as many memories as you want: if your iPhone is getting full, just run the free AirStash+ app and quickly backup your camera roll (including video) to your AirStash for unlimited storage with interchangeable SD cards. Once your photos are transferred to the AirStash, you can share your photos with up to eight friends instantly through any compatible WiFi-enabled device.
If you have a point-and-shoot or professional SLR camera with you, you can put the camera’s SD memory card into AirStash for instant viewing of thousands of photos on your iPad or iPhone wherever you are without a laptop — without waiting for a lengthy import process. View up to 75 MP RAW and JPEG, then share with others directly to their own iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, compatible Android device, Windows Phone, or Kindle Fire. Import your best, edit them with apps such as Adobe Photoshop Express, and email them across the world right from your iPad.
AirStash A02 is the smaller and more powerful second generation device from the pioneers of mobile wireless storage. Measuring just 3.6 x 1.2 x 0.5 inches (93 x 32 x 13 mm) and weighing just 1.4 oz (41 g), AirStash easily fits into your pocket, backpack, briefcase, or handbag for up to seven hours of continuous video streaming thanks to the built-in lithium-polymer battery. AirStash charges from any USB-equipped laptop or desktop (powered ports only) and works as a USB High Speed flash drive & memory card reader. Memory is provided by an SD / SDHC / SDXC slot supporting beyond 128GB of high-density storage. New features and enhanced device compatibility can be provided by firmware updates downloaded from the Internet. (SDXC cards require a manual format before use).
