How to Use a USB Drive with the Nexus 7

The Nexus 7 tablet comes up short on storage, but with a cable and free apps it?s possible to connect a USB drive to the Nexus 7 for more storage. This solution isn?t for everyone. It requires a rooted Nexus 7, a cable that hangs off the edge and apps to make the process work. If you haven?t purchased a Nexus 7, I still recommend the 16GB version, but if you need storage to take movies on a flight or road trip this is an option to have on hand. This same cable will let you use an Xbox 36o controller to play games on the Nexus 7 tablet. Connect a USB drive to the Nexus 7 for more storage. This solution isn?t perfect, but it works 90% of the time for me, and allows me to watch movies and TV shows that wouldn?t otherwise fit on my Nexus...

Just|Mobile Highway Pro Review

Earlier this year I reviewed Just|Mobile?s 12 volt, single USB port car charger, called the Highway. A very well made, nice looking device/car accessory for charging your tech while motoring down the road. That is fine for those of us who only need to charge a single device at a time. But realizing that more and more folks are taking their iPads/tablets with them as well, Just|Mobile has created a dual port version of their mobile charger, called the Highway Pro. Like the original Highway, the Highway Pro is well made and nice looking. But instead of a single USB port, the Pro has a 2.1A output for tablets/high-power devices plus a 1A output for smartphones and other standard USB devices. Both ports have fused surge protection to hopefully...
