    Hi all,

    Have a wifi acer iconia a500 and it doesn't pick up the usb dongle when plugged in. Presume that the drivers need to be installed but only windows drivers on the dongle itself. (Honeycomb 3.0 BTW)

    Any ideas on how to get this to work??!

    Thanks
    Willy

    Android doesn't support these things. Yet anyway

    Don't believe everything you read on the internet ;-)

    I have the same Acer, I upgraded to 3.1 as it supports lots of USB drives and memory sticks.

    I can connect usb drives, USB stick, keyboards, mice....

    I also use the drive mount app to mount ntfs drives ....

    A USB card reader is now a very easy way to load pics for camera - although 3.1 supports pictbridge

    With 3.1, a wireless keyboard and mouse also work
