Hi. I suspect it's not but i'll throw it out there anyway. I was looking at the Motorola Xoom but given that i've got a 3g broadband connection already, i was just wondering what's the handiest way to use this with something like the Xoom.

Hay, first of all you would have to get an micro to full sized usb adapter then there would be the issue of drivers, so it's doubtful. I have a data plan on my phone that I share via wifi hotspot with my Xoom when im out and about...

It is possible but I guess it depends on the device. As mentioned above you would need an adapter but all the chinese knockoffs (such as the zt180 and MID Epad) have this as a feature (they have full usb ports)
