Yes. It was almost obsolete as soon as it came out! Real shame because it's a great idea. I guess for an ipad 2 the best method of connectivity is still the camera connection kit with a driveless MIDI or audio interface. Still seems a bit daft to me that Apple didn't furnish this with at least one USB port. Oh well. Maybe someone will come up with a more universal I/O device for the ipad. But after Alesis' brave but ultimately failed attempt it seems unlikelypolaris20 wrote:I figured this would happen, because you can't count on the shape of the iPad remaining constant, whereas the dock connector will remain the same, most likely. Alesis should have just come out with a dock-connecting interface with the same IO, but in a box to cable format.
The ipad 2 is quite a bit thinner than the ipad 1 so I'm not sure how Alesis think that is going to work ..... unless they think it's okay for your, far from snug fitting ipad 2, to fall out of the I/O dock if you pick it up before realising, 'damn! just remembered. It's much thinner than the last one', as your ipad 2 falls to floor & smashes!!
