Camera Connection Kit Used To Import Photos From A Floppy Disk [VIDEO]
In the past, hackers have been able to successfully use the iPad’s Camera Connection Kit (CCK) to connect all sorts of accessories to the iPad such as keyboards, headsets, storage devices etc, thanks to its standard USB connector.
