The problem with that is honeycomb is a tablet OS. I can imagine someone has released a kernel which suppoorts it, but you also have to remember you would need to find an adaptor to allow you to plug a USB device into your handset, as said above, there is a chance that the phone itself won't physically support USB host. I can however conirm that USB host does work on android 2.3 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Non Ubuntu Question
According to some roadmaps you should to be able to mount a USB drive in "Honeycomb" (I think) & "Ice Cream" but not sure if it was implemented. Their has been work in a couple of the custom ROM's to give that functionality but never test it myself. So technically it's possible, depends on your Phone and version of Android it has. search http://forum.xda-developers.com see if anyone has it working for android.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Non Ubuntu Question
true..i was just hoping to utilize a drive that i already have. I think there maybe a lot of command line work for it to be put into Host mode On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 11:10 AM, Kris Douglas wrote: > > On Sep 14, 2011 11:06 AM, "javadayaz" wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Does anyone know if i can connect a USB thumb drive directly to my > android phone and read data off there? > > > > Im travelling soon so would like to take some films on my thumb drive for > when i am bored...plus a PC may not always be available! > > > > hope this makes sense! > > > > -- > > > > Regards > > > > Javad > > Using a thumb drive will not work if the phone does not have USB Host > support. > > Why not purchase another MicroSD card and use that, you can get a suitably > fast one in tesco for very little. > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ > > -- Regards Javad -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Why not purchase another MicroSD card and use that, you can get a suitably fast one in tesco for very little. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
