    Thanks for the reply but all Ii trying to ask is,,,,,, does my Motorola Xoom 3.2 support OTG usb and if I buy a cable it it just a case of simply plug and go
    or do I need to download something onto the tablet as well

    I should add that I have just discovered my tablet can take a micro sd card without any problem

    the OTG will recognize camera, Mouse and Keyboard, on an unrooted xoom. If you root, it will recognize USB thumb drives and hard drives.

    Only if you are rooted, else USB devices won't work.

    EDIT: A bit late to reply eh? EDIT 2: For some reason I could see only the first few posts...

    Please read this thread before proceeding to root.
