USB OTG or USB On-The-Go is a feature little known to most people, although at the moment there are many smartphones that support it. Practical USB OTG, as you can see in the video, gives you the possibility to connect a USB device directly to your phone using a USB to MiniUSB cable or any other variations of cables that have a USB plug. You can also see in the video that he first connects a USB stick to a Nokia N8 terminal and reads all the contents of the stick, then connects a Nokia C5 terminal to the Nokia N8 and reads the entire contents of the C5.
Through this feature you could connect almost anything to your phone: a USB keyboard, a USB hard disk, a web camera or why not a phone that supports mass storage mode. Personally, I think it is a very interesting and extremely useful feature for any smartphone user, practically you will be able to use the phone to connect to a multitude of USB devices, you could read the contents of sticks or hard drives directly from the phone without having to mediate this connection with the help of a PC.
I for one would like to see these features implemented in the iPhone OS. Is there anyone who finds it useful?
