I dunno if the device itself exists (I think no) but you can use any USB OTG card reader (as the device of 2nd video), any of them should work.

[Q] Connecting NFC reader to PC

I recently got the HTC One X and am toying around with the NFC reader. As far as I've seen there is no app that can turn your phone into an external NFC reader for a PC. Is there any that someone knows of?
Hey! Im also interested in NFC nexus 7 drivers for linux. Someone know how to use nexus nfc on pc/linux?

Slimport/MHl doesn't work (Confirmed by Google)

Hi guys,
I just received a few hours ago my Nexus 9 and I checked both, Slimport and MHL but doesn't work. The Slimport device works fine with my Nexus 5 and my TV but the Nexus 9 doesn't work.
Cheers.
Worst nexus device ever.

I'm very disappointed with this issue...
Maybe could be a problem with the inside configuration of my Slimport, I had notice that some Slimport works fine in some devices but doesn't work in others due changes inside micro usb port (different cable connections).
But still.... In my Nexus 5 the Slimport works absolutely fine....

somehow it seems you hit the nail. i was very waiting for the nexus 9 and i am so disapointed what i see about it that it makes me really sad. this device is so full of wrong decisions, irrational design flaws and build quality issues that i am nearly speachless. and then it is quite expensive for the few it offers.
it is quite "interesting" that the nexus 6 PHONE gets 3GB ram, upto 64GB rom and the 64bit os nexus 9 only 2GB and a zram swap using 512MB to gain a little bit by compression >.> and then it seems to have some issues with otg, lack of micro hdmi or slimport etc.
i don't get it. what's the point htc? trying to debut as the worst nexus manufactor ever?
Terrible. This is the final nail in the coffin for my "should I get the Nexus 9" decision. Glad I got the Shield Tablet at release and will stick with that for a while now, probably until Nvidia release their next tab.
I have a Google answer about this but I can't post links after 10 post
In google groups, in product forums go to Nexus 9 and find mi post named "Nexus 9 and Slimport doesn't work"
They said to me that the micro usb port doesn't support video output.
Hi guys,
So if I get everything right that means : the new Nexus 9 doesn't have wireless charging. It doesn't have support for MHL nor SlimPort.
OK : maybe it's really handy with a Chromecast key... but that's a foul limitation.
Chromecast simply does not work when you have no Wi-Fi.
I'm a professor.
I teach at University.
I want to be able to show .ppt presentations to my students.
But I don't always have a network, or the LP to the University network.
So, I just can't do it ? While I coudl do it with my Nexus 7 2012 ?
That is a huge step backwards... and I think for that simple reason I won't get the Nexus 9 but will try to find a nice N7 2013 LTE instead...
Chances are, I'll have more functionnality and pay less than the half !
The real sad thing about that is that the "Nexus Legend" is vanishing... Not fading, but melting like a snowflake in August !
Bye Bye Nexus... Loved the N4, loved the N7 2012, loved the N5...
Regards.

Haven't Google announced that Chromecast will work without a WiFi network in the last google IO?

Hi,
Well, it might be.
Shall investigate this further.
Anyways, I don't think the Nexus 9 will make it to my door : too expensive for a feature limited tablet.
Regards.
Likely just not a popular thing to have. I have a slimport cable that i just never used for the past year once I got chromecast. Now i understand I'm not a professor with that specific need. if that's a deal breaker I'd just return it get a 2013 N7 and spend the $300 you save on something else. maybe a shield tablet. Tablets, tablets everywhere!

Nexus 9 USB OTG Support problems

Hello everyone,
So I have been experiencing and interesting issue(or maybe simple lack of support) with USB OTG on the Nexus 9 that I own. First off, I have been using keyboard, mouse, and xbox 360 controllers with the same cable on my Samsung Galaxy S4 running a AOSP(4.4.4), and Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 variant of Gummy ROM without any issues. Lone behold, on my Nexus(running stock 5.0.1 OTA), the only devices it's seems to support as of present are removable media(i.e. USB flash memory/hard disk drives). I am wondering if this a bug, or misconfiguration on my part(maybe I am overlooking a setting), and since I intended on using the controller support for emulation purposes this would be a deal breaker and I would have no other choice but to return the device. Keep in mind I have tested the cable/controllers/mice/keyboard on my S4, Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and my roommates HTC One without any issues, leading me to believe this is either a hardware, or software limitation. Thanks again, for any advice or help you guys/girls maybe able to offer me !

[Q] MHL not working for Padfone S! Help.

Hello, i just bought Padfone S [DEEPBLACK] in Indonesia,
its said that padfone S support MHL/SlimPort... :good:
But what a pity, i tried my MHL cable, and nothing happened. It was used before for my Optimus G and it does pretty well..
Even in Hardware test for Padfone S, stated there "HDMI".
So one of you already tried this?
I really need this feature... hope can find the solution. :laugh: :fingers-crossed:

Suggest to call customer support. A few things I can tell you:-
1. The Padfone S does support MHL because that's how it uses the station/tablet display (not sure if you've got that). Which would also mean that you would not be able to get MHL from the tablet, it'd have to be from the phone.
2. The Malaysia/Indonesia version is a bit crippled (Singapore's is fine, stupidly enough) hardware wise, wireless charging does NOT work, and will not due to a 'hardware incompatibility'. Perhaps MHL is similar, but see point 1 and refer to ASUS' indonesian support for that.
As far as i know padfone s does not support MHL.
But telephone (not tablet) support Slimport 100%. :good:

[Q] any offers for Nexus 9 LTE ..

I have plan to sell my Nvidia Shield tablet and buy Nexus 9 LTE .
Despite the low price of Shield tablet but there are some drawbacks .. Specially the poor WiFi signal and lack of accessories, and really it well
Are there any offers for nexus 9 LTE ?
Mostly I'm going to use it for taking notes , how is nexus 9 with Stylus ? Any suggestions and experiences here ?
If i can get the WiFi version, do I can use 4G usb modem through OTG cable ?
I can't quite tell what you're asking here, but you are not allowed to buy/sell/trade on XDA anymore. You may use your login/password on Swappa.com
As for your other questions, maybe someone with experience can answer
The Nexus 9's K1 doesn't have the Direct Stylus tech from the Tegra 4, so using a stylus will not be the same. I have a stylus that I tried for an art app, but the precision isn't there. As for writing sentences, you'll have a hard time drawing clean letters.

Your better off going with a Samsung Tablet if your looking for a Tablet to use a Stylus with.
