Hi folks,
I ordered a Nexus 4 today. Will be my first Android device and in fact my first smart phone. Made do with an iPod Touch and a cheap $30 phone for years. So looking forward to the N4.
I was trying to figure out if I can plug it into an external USB hard drive? Some review sites were suggesting that as a workaround for the rather limited and non-expandable storage on the N4. The small storage is the biggest concern I have about the device. My iPod touch has about 40 GB of music on it, and I that device will be passed off the my partner when the N4 comes. So I realise I'll have to cull the music collection back a lot, and that's fine. But when I saw reviewers mentioning getting an adapter and plugging a packet HDD into the N4 I got curious.
Searching online I have found nothing to suggest 100% one way or the other whether it is possible or not. I've seen a few complaints about issues with mass storage, but wasn't clear.
Can someone tell me for sure if it's going to be possible to plug this N4 (when it arrives!) into the a pocket HDD?
Much thanks
Joe
