That's disappointing
Steve Jobs decreed that iThingies will not connect to external mass storage devices. He had lots of smart people working
for him and essentially unlimited development funds. Until someone abrogates this one of his commandments, so it shall be.
From the Mountaintop Moose
and interesting since I don't know how that is. Windows sees all flash cards as disk drives and, AFAIK, has no way to
tell the difference. How does iOS differentiate? FAT32?
As I recall, it doesn't work with cards directly, but through the camera's USB port. In any case, iOS is not a lot like
Win. :-)

Chuck - the iPhone/iPad camera connection adaptor has been available for
quite a long while, but don't even imagine that because it has a USB socket
that it will allow you to hook up an external harddisk! It's for hooking up
USB-camera connections so that other than SD cards are supported.
There are some solutions for external drives, but they are either based on
wifo or are complete / proprietary solutions. I have a £150 iPhone 'case'
that gives me an additional external battery and 32GB storage - provided I
address it via a specific app. (made by Mophie)
WiFi solutions are common and inexpensive. The RavPower FileHub I have works very well. With both SD slot and USB, it
may be used to copy from card directly to external HD, without going through the controlling device. BUT, as I said
before, the copying software has a glaring limitation in file selection that makes it impractical for more than a few
files at a time.
