SD Card Question

[Shepx13]

OK, this may be a stupid question, but if I get a micro USB to full size adapter, can I use a regular size SD card reader and download photos from my camera to the Xoom? If so, is this normal for any android Tablet?

Also, can you hook up an external hard drive to the Xoom? (I have an old Passport 320 that's no longer being used for anything else)

Lastly, if you were to buy a Xoom today, how much would you be willing to spend on it with today's tablet prices?


Thanks.

Get the official USB OTG Motorola connection cable. It goes by Motorola camera connection kit or something like that.

That same cable will be used for everything else. Your hdd will work, I have a WD 320 as well, just make sure its formatted as FAT32.

I would still spend 350 on a wifi Xoom.

Should add that you need to be rooted.

No, you just need a file manager.

Get File Manager HD, hit green arrow twice, look for /media.


You have internal, sdCard, and USB.

Tried that (and other file mgrs) - no /media there. Have done global searches for USB to no avail. No problem with sdcard and external1.
