I managed to get comms working on the serial pins and the mbed, but this was with a jailbroken iphone ios 2.1 . You need to become MFI (made for ipod) to gain real access and use the support APIs. I tried but failed to get approval :/ . So I moved to Android :)

Has anyone been able to use an iPad for software development and code download with mbed?
I have some students that were asking about it and they wanted instructions.
I noticed that the Apple iPad Camera? adapter connector is really USB and some people say that it works with some USB flash drives and a few other USB devices. There is a video showing how to mount a USB flash drive, but it looks ugly. Don't have one to try.
Would probably be too lucky, if a USB virtual com port would also work somehow for printf().
