I just bought mine through a friend that lives in LA, and as we speak is fliying to México.
I know the development of custom roms is in a very early stage, but I have one question for you, regular users and devs:
Do you think its possible to mount an storage drive using the standard USB port? If not, is it a hardware issue or its just related to software.
Thank you all!
Do a search. I have read before in the forums that some people have gotten USB sticks and USB HDs working. But seems like I remember they have to be formatted Fat32.
A couple of searches should turn up info.

Yes, but drive has to be formatted FAT32.
There are several threads about this here.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I just read aboout the usb thumbdrives and HID working, but I want to beyond that:
What about a DVD R/W drive? I am not sure if there is an app for that
Good Morning and Happy New year to all,
Question I may be missing the boat on this but how do you get the G Tablet to read a USB drive? And for that matter the SD card that is extra (I mean the one I installed)? Thank you for the help and if I missed it on the search that you for the link.

Has anyone been able to hook up a flash drive yet with USB OTG? Been waiting for my cable to arrive to test out. Just wondering since I didn't order a powered hub with it, since half the forums I have searched require it to work. If anyone has had any luck please let me know.

Nevermind figured it out myself. Need the powered hub.
On another note I am starting to really hate Samsung after seeing this. SamSung
Yep, we have a guide posted in the General section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629134
official RUU is neccessary？
Will there ever be a chance that REAL usb otg is enabled? Which means without connecting external power? (I dont consider using an y cable and then externally powering usb to be "on the go")
While most modern phones made by samsung and some other manufacturers enable it by default but htc doesn't is beyond me.

I really want this too... i could control my dslr. and with power connection needed, it gets so worthless, because there isnt always a socket around...
Apparently Qualcomm does but HTC removes that feature.
in the leaked one x jb update you can use usb otg without external power, hopefully they will do the same for our phone.
So I was trying to plug in my Seagate 500 gig external hard drive to my Asus K00Z. The hard drive is FAT32. it doesn't get detected on the device even though the light on the hard drive goes on. All flash drives word. Reasons and solutions, if any?

There me be some potential explanations here although your best bet is to ask in the Android Q&A as there's no forum for your device. With any luck someone may even have a kernel with OTG support for your needs at best, or may have another solution. Good luck

Thanks for the help Apparently the OTG has issues with storage >8 gigs.
Does anyone know if this phone supports OTG?
I'm thinking it does not as I have been unsuccessful plugging in mice, USB flash, or PS3 controller (I did try using Sixaxis Enabler). So before I drive myself crazy I thought I would pose the question and see if anyone knows for sure or not?
EDIT: I found my answer sorry to bother. Didn't even consider just finding an app to check this for me, duh moment. For those interest it does not support OTG, though the app I used claims to have found the classes needed but they are not loading or enabled I guess. Maybe if the device is rooted at some point it can be enabled like a few other phones I have read about (I know if the hardware actually supports OTG just software disabled).
