My Archos has a micro USB port which they claim can read USB memory sticks. Sadly it never recognized any of the ones I have. Lately I discovered that it does recognize my USB SD card reader and I can plug it into the adapter cable and watch videos saved on my full size SD cards. The trouble is that when I try to unmount them, there is no reaction from the machine. I then pull out the cable and all and it says "External device safe to remove", FOLLOWED by "External device removed unexpectedly". Now, Does the Galaxy Tab have this kind of problem. I mean can it unmount external devices correctly with its USB-OTG support in ICG?
Yes, it can. When you connect a USB memory stick via USB-OTG you get a "Tap here to dismount USB mass storage device" item appearing in the notifications area. When you tap it, the Tab pops up a message saying "USB mass storage device dismounted".
