Will the new nexus 7 work with a usb memory stick?

For both reading and writing from the stick? Many thanks

it will work but you either have to root and use stickmount or buy nexus media importer

There are a couple more alternatives, a wireless USB Flash stick or a wireless USB harddrive. I've tested a pre-release version of the SanDisk Wireless 32G Flash and it works very well. It's about the same size as a regular Flash stick and it can run as a wireless hotspot. I was able to stream movies from it with my 2012 Nexus7, my Galaxy Nexus and my desktop at the same time so it has sufficient bandwidth. I also have a Seagate Wireless 1TB drive, it's very buggy, I don't recommend it.

I use Nexus Media Importer and it works great without the need to root.
