[feature-request] [jolla-tablet] usb host port [not relevant]
asked 2014-11-27 22:11:26 +0200
Sorry when there is a duplicate of this feature requests - i tried to find a similar feature request without success actually - it would be great (as mentioned in my early indiegogo comment to have a full featured usb host port instead of just an otg one - to connect for example dvb tuners, usb nics and other nice additional gadgets! It is not that important that this host port have enough power to connect this things - an external powered usb hub is not an issue from my point of view.
I'm pretty sure that this is wanted by many campaigners...
So please vote this up if you also hope for an usb host port to be present at the jolla tablet.
An actual USB port is waste of space, prone to break and collects dust. USB-OTG is a much more feasible option since it provides the same functionality, can be charged through the same cable and plugged USB devices don't stick out and snap off. It's also one opening less in the tablet design.
