iPad Camera Kit packs USB keyboard, Skype headset support surprise?

The iPad Camera Kit has started showing up in the wild and while its name indicates it’s intended use as a way to import digital camera pictures and video into the iPad, it looks like there’s some surprise support for USB keyboards and audio headsets along for the ride.

For those unfamiliar with the Camera Kit, it’s two small dongles, one of which is an SD/SDHC card reader and the other is a straight-up USB port. It’s the latter of the two that’s creating the stir.

It sounds like not all UBS keyboards are supported, mind you, just the low-power ones which makes a certain amount of sense given the realities of a portable device. (Apple’s own USB keyboard with mini mouse-hub of its own, for example, apparently need not apply).

While there’s nothing in the settings to control it, USB headsets seem to be working for Skype calls as well. Frankly, we weren’t expecting that but we certainly do welcome it.

Nothing else is working at this point, however. No game controls, external hard drivers, etc.

Now we just need it to work with the iPhone…
