Seems to me a dongle hanging off the tablet's USB port would be a bit clumsy. Have you thought about using a mobile hotspot device? THIS is what I use. It is small enough to fit in your shirt pocket if you are using your tablet while walking around a job site or whatever.

USB otg + USB gamepad on mini pro supported?

I have seen some videos that livedock are supported on mini and live with walkman which makes mini pro supported too. It can be connected to a USB mouse, USB keyboard and a USB gamepad.
The problem is I dont know where can I find and buy livedock. So I consider on using USB OTG instead for a USB mouse, keyboard and gamepad.
Has anyone tried USB otg on mini pro? Does it recognised a USB mouse and USB keyboard and so on?

According to me, all 2011 Xperia models support USB OTG.
Will take a look later on some phones.

yeah i just took a research.
but what about connecting it to a usb gamepad?
Checked.
Mini pro does not support USB OTG. Although, it has support for LiveDock, so I am not sure, if USB gamepad would work or not.

how are you completely sure?
wait till someone try and test and confirm it.
I didn't say I am sure. According to official white paper, it doesn't have USB OTG. But it is supported by LiveDock, that's why I am not sure.

Make sure that you are in one of the 2.3.4 updates. This update gave the support for usb on the go. I haven't test it yet but according to other threads you should be able to use an adapter without having to use livedock. Also, i think, some kernels doesn't have support for usb on the go.

The receiver plugs into USB, and then the pads connect to that. It's a way to use the wireless pads on a PC.
I'll have to see if it can pick up multiple pads still

Oh I have seen the video of that on youtube. The reviewer said the trigger l2 and r2 of it doesnt worked for key mappings on fpse.
But im interested in connecting the USB otg with a USB hub. That way I can connect a USB keyboard, mouse and gamepad all together at the same time.
Though I still doubt it would work until someone try it

Just checked that, the triggers don't work. I hadn't tried to use them as the SNES didn't have that many
A hub should work as long as its powered

USB Ethernet...No Browser lags

On ethernet the stock browser has no lags...... I connected a Linksys USB200M v2 adapter....I am gettting full bars on WiFi from my NetGear WNDR4500 router and lags persist.....Hope this helps ASUS with this problem.
How does it compare to desktop browsing loading times
So far so good on the ethernet here.
Most people who have the problem probably wouldn't if they would just go into Settings>Advanced in the browser and change "Enable plug-ins" to On Demand .. this stops the flash windows from auto loading and lagging it out
Nicely implemented by Asus, using the USB Ethernet Adaptor that came with Asus Zenbook.

I am using that setting ever since I purchased device... still ethernet loads faster with no lags.... Have you tried on USB ethernet?
It hasn't lagged for me or given the wait window since someone recommended I do that on here so no actually don't need to.

It should work, but I would advice against using it because the network adaptor will increase the power drain quite a bit. Further more, the way it is connected to the prime makes it hard for the user to use the tablet properly without stressing the physical connection of the USB kit to the prime.

Check out this TP-Link unit:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704134
Absolutely tiny, and does 4 modes - client, AP, router and repeater. If you don't need a USB port for a 3G modem, this is a scorching hot deal.
And a UK link for you also.

Cool. I get so caught up with the big and bad, I forget to find the tiny and badass
Those are cool, I've never considered finding a tiny portable router to help create wireless networks on-the-spot with wired ones. Awesome.
One thing is not clear for me. I.e. when I'm on holiday, and want to use this with the tfp, do I need a PC or laptop to connect first with the wifi before I can use this? If so it's not very convenient ...

No, there is no HDMI support for that
If you think that its not suppose to be for devices without a HDMI port then thats incorrect
The HTC EVO 3D has HDMI support but no HDMI port
Strange but yeah, sometimes the unexpected is expected.

If your display/TV has DLNA capabilities, it works like a charm.
If it doesn't, you can add to your TV something like DLNA-enabled Blu Ray player or Android stick.
Bingo, problem solved. External display works just fine.
Sorry to reply to this old threat, but I was searching gsmarena specs, and in sony tablet S 3G it says "TV out via MHL", but not for the non-3G version. I had the impression that besides the cellular chip there were no other differences..
Did something change with ICS update?
Cause I'm ready to get an MHL adaptor as I actually need HDMI out.

The only difference between the 3G variant and the WiFi variant is that the 3G version has an add in modem which plugs into a socket (If I'm not mixing up devices), and firmware. There is no MHL support.

Like you said, has to be a miracast enabled device. I don't know of any computer program to enable it. I believe the devices are mostly smart tv and some blu-ray players. I'm hoping the new chromecast will support it.

If the chromecast device works you'll have a smart tv for $35 assuming you live in the US. I don't think it is available outside of the us at the moment. The device is pretty small, around the size of a large USB thumb drive judging from the pictures and plugs into hdmi.

Awesome I do love in the us though I'm currently out of the country but I'll be back in 1 month. I'll have to look up this chrome cast. So you just plug it in your TV and it uses the TV as a monitor and sort of makes it a smart TV? Well if I understood right that's sweet especially for only 35 dollars.

They have added Miracast but the performance isn't great on my PTV3000. However, my PTV3000 is pretty terrible so it could easily be of no fault of the Nexus 10.

Chromecast does not support Miracast.
And given that it's only in the 2.4ghz range only, that's probably a good thing. In most of my use cases, you probably wouldn't want to use it without 5ghz.
It's designed a little differently though - instead of going from the internet, through the device, to your monitor/TV, Chromecast takes the content directly from the internet using your phone more like a remote. The quality of the stream should be much better.
But of course you lose the ability to mirror the screen of your device on your monitor/TV.
I prefer the better quality stream for most wireless streaming and will use my HDMI cable when I need a mirror as the performance was better with that anyway.
