Micro USB port to connect peripherals

[Jonno]

I believe the Micro USB port at the bottom should be compatible with USB peripherals. I'm planning to connect my external hard drive. The problem is finding a cable that for connection. I either need a Male Micro USB to Male Micro USB. Or a Male Micro USB to Female "A" USB. Anyone try this out? It sure sounded like this is possible when I talked to a Motorola employee at CES.

I doubt that port will provide enough power for a hdd
