Nokia N8 uses USB OTG, browses files off a USB drive and Nokia C5

31 May, 2010
USB On-The-Go is a relatively unknown feature on mobile phones despite its obvious advantages. Watch how some lucky dude connects a USB flash drive and a Nokia C5 to the N8 and plays a few tracks...

    This USB OTG is a nice and very useful feature. But most of all i'm looking forward to this http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/03/11/nokia-patents-self-charging-phone/

    Nokia has always been the leader of innovation and always will be.

                Anonymous, 31 May 2010pointless feature. Who is actually going to carry the adapt... morepointless or not is not judge by you
                you can say as "it's a pointless feature for me" but not judge it as a pointless feature for everyone
                just like my grandma will say "phone is useless to me", well that doesnt mean phone is useless for everyone right, and i bet there are grandmasssss out there who needs phone so much to contact with their family members
                leave comment for a phone, not judge a phone

                  [deleted post]I am a hardcore mac user, but Itunes is the most terrible piece of software ever from that company. Relying on it for stuff like this is insane. You do not even have folders to stick files in.... This is a much better solution.

                      so i can connect n8 to aux audio in jack of my car cd or via bluetooth a2dp at some models of car cd or via radio transmitter, and then connect my 1tb hard disc to n8 and listen millions of mp3. or if i go to a party i an put my music from usb flash or portable hdd without a laptop. i simply connect n8 at dj's mixer or host's stereo system through audio cables

                              we can carry around a external harddisk or pendrive if our phone memory or memory card goes short
