I did try the USB importer, and while it doesn't work, it's not very versatile, although good for those who want something simple and don't want to root their devices.

I ended up rooting my device (took a couple minutes after backing up the system), and installing stickmount, which works exactly like other devices that have a micro SD slot. While I know it's not most peoples cup of tea, it does work, and works well.
