Not without an unrestricted USB port on the mobile i-devices. It
remains to be seen what else can be done with the camera connection
kit.
However, we also have the added problem that some smartcards and/or
smartcard readers require 5V. IIRC, the dock connector only does
3V. This isn't insurmountable (put a battery in the reader) but it
does make life harder for the vendor, who now needs to produce
software *and* hardware, not just software. This is a considerable
barrier to entry for what really is a niche product.
I was thinking more along the lines of the missing BT HID profiles
in the iPhone/iPod.

Is the SCR3500 mobile enough?

I bought one through Holman's for less than $20. It collapses
into a
package 1-7/8 L x 3/4 W x 7/16 D. I can't say the camera/USB
connector
will work with this device but it does work on my regular Mac.

The 'slow' part is there's no mobile smartcard reader available,
but
that's not (entirely) Apple's fault (since iPhone 3, anyway).
IMHO, a vendor like Good Technologies would be a better place to
hammer on this particular podium.

Oh I understand that, I just meant that Apple seems slow (if
it's
moving at all) to support smartcards more than they do, that's
all.
Interesting statement considering that Apple is the only OS
vendor
providing you with out-of-the-box support for the US Federal
Government
Smart Cards (CAC/PIV, with CACNG emerging). Because there is
not a
physical slot in your MacBook Pro does not mean that Apple is
Slow or
not supporting Smart Cards.
Please clarify the foundation of your statement.
