Apple’s Camera Connection Kit for the iPad is now available for pre-order. It costs US$29, and is due to ship in late April, around the same time as the iPad Keyboard Dock.

The Camera Connection Kit gives you two ways to import photos and videos from a digital camera. It lets you import your photos and videos to iPad using the camera’s USB cable. Or you can use the SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from the camera’s SD card.

Apple has updated Snow Leopard to version 10.6.3. You can obtain it via the Software Updates component of the Mac OS X Systems Preferences app. According to Apple, general operating system fixes and improvements provided for:

° Sleep and wake reliability when using Bonjour wake on demand;
