Apogee Jam

The Apogee Jam is a recording tool meant for the musician on the go. It provides a studio quality instrument interface for the iPad through which one can connect a guitar. It has been designed especially for GarageBand (Though it works with other DAW software's like Amplitube too), which means you'd be hard-pressed to find a better audio interface for the iPad.

Apple camera connection kit

When the iPad was originally launched the omission of a dedicated USB port was seen as its ‘Achilles heel'. The camera connection kit does not free you from Apple's nightmarish iTunes sync, but it does allow you to transfer images in a jiffy, either directly through USB or the memory card. Given that no other Android powered tablet has been unable to nail a seamless USB experience, the inclusion of the Apple camera kit for iPad users has to count for something.

Just click on the Air print icon, which pops up, and voila!

One of our pet peeves with iPad has always been the omission of headphones.
