Apologies for the newbie question, but can you use a 3g usb dongle with the transformer?

Thanks

It should be possible now that 3.1 is getting USB Host Mode support.

Then there's of course the other issues such as connecting the device, the laptop dock has usb ports, but if you're running the tablet only you would need an adapter for their 40-pin connector, there might also be power issues, as well as driver issues.

But atleast it's one step closer with usb host mode support, and normal usb ports on the laptop dock.

It's not in the spec because it doesnt have 3G. Best solution is to tether to an Android phone using its wifi sharing. It works flawlessly.

Depends on android version of phone, could not make 2.1 work. 2.2 was easy. As was bluetooth conect to a windows mobile. Advantage is no need for extra data contract (t mobile uk)
