you need the USB Host cable, which is available to buy on the internet, you can't just plug your usb device straight to Athena's usb slot, it won't work

Works fine for me with the USB host cable and a 2Gb USB key - but you have to connect it, then soft reset.
Then it shows up in file explorer as 'Hard Disk'.

USB on Universal

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a Universal but I've a question on the USB port.
Has anyone tried connecting a USB hard drive directly to the Universal? I have a Archive Gmini 220 and I was wondering if the Universal would see it as an external drive and if this is the case can it run media on the drive such as MP3 or AVI files? Also has anyone tried connecting a card reader to read CF or Memory sticks etc.
Any rumours of a Universal with internal hard drive?
Captaink
Olnly thing i've heard is it does support but peoples who already tried says nevr made it work.
That's because just as with a normal PC it needs drivers to work with your device.
It's just a matter of time........ :lol:

Having a USB socket doesnt mean its a USB host!!!
It has to have that mini usb socket so that you can sync and charge, as they dropped the old style 21pin connector now. Its just like the Magician with usb only now.
There have been rumours it supports USB host mode, but ive not heard any confirmation or proof.
in this review of the device they say it does host

The PXA270 has a builtin USB host and
can operate as an OTG device. The guys
at HTC must be really sick if they have
not wired it.
I don't get only one thing: what USB 2.0
means here ? OTG ?
in which case it seems that HP and DELL are sick aswell

What all can be done with the mini USB connector?

Just curious what all can be done with the mini USB connector on the Wizard other than Active Sync and charging.
Could the device be used to charge a bluetooth headset that also takes mini USB?
Possible to add a pocket drive for more storage?
I am pretty sure with the level of talented people here that someone has found ways to maximize functionality through this port.
it's only for charging and file trasfer
the device doesn't support usb host so you can't use a drive, or keyboard, etc with the usb
With WM5Storage or CardExportII the miniSD card can be used as USB FLASHDRIVE

Cingular 8125 as thumbdrive reader (not AS a USB drive, something that reads them)?

Possible?
With a mini USB B male to USB A female adapter would the 8125 be able to use usb drives you plug into it?
look up "WM5torage"
I reworded the post
i dont think it will work as wizard does not have usb host support
could it be made to work? that would be awesome

[Q] USB on the go

I was reading all your discutions, but I'm not clear with the USB ports. You can use them to acces data from them? It has USB on the go?
Thank you
i'd like to know this as well - anyone ?
Two USB ports on the keyboard dock, and they support:
Nearly all usb storage devices (incl. external hardrives)..
Xbox360/PS3 controller
Mouse
On the tablet itself, there's no USB port but a micro SD slot.
