Tethering camera with iPad

Have any of you tried one of those iUSBport Camera devices?  I'm wondering how long does it take to communicate between the camera and iPad on larger images?

My understanding for most of these devices is that they transmit JPGs wirelessly; RAW files are too dang big.

Probably fast enough to be reasonable, but I generally don't like showing off my work in the middle of a shoot. Only something that I chimp and am especially pleased with, to encourage the subject. I don't ever expect to do a tethered shoot unless I get into commercial photography (which is unlikely).

I was about to say the same thing.  Can you imagine how much delay that would be if this was trying to send a 36MP RAW file?  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Does this work like those wireless memory cards, or the same technology rather?  I know those are awfully slow to transmit data, I would expect that your phone or iPad would have more resources so the transfer would be quicker?

Cool idea, but if it only transfers JPG, then that wont work for most pro's as RAW is pretty standard.
