hey guys Davey here from Wambach calm and this video I want to show you how the Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich let's see you connect your USB devices to your Android phone or tablet so obviously the gun X doesn't have a USB port you just have your micro USB charging port right here so what you can get is this adapter it's called the OTG USB to micro USB adapter I got it off Amazon it's about five dollars or so and as you can see it has the USB port and the micro USB side so I'm just gonna plug this guy into my phone and connect a couple of point devices so I'll connect a mouse and a keyboard so first up I'll connect my hardwired mouse so you can see here's my mouse and here is the other end of the USB so I'll go ahead and plug it in really quick and show you how this works so plug it in and start to use it so it's kind of hard to see right now on the screen that it's on now let's go ahead and go over to the settings and it might be a little bit easier to see on camera the little cursor so I don't know if you can see that but I am controlling my phone from my mouse and that was cool that could actually edit or modify some of the settings for the mouse for example I could go to a pointer speed right here and make it faster or slower depending on how I like it hit okay and you can see I'm using the mouse just like I normally would you know you just click on the button you want are the thing you want just by tapping it once and if you want a long press you just press and hold and on the left click and it grabs it for you just like you would when you long press but honestly I don't see how useful a mouse really is on a touchscreen I think it's kind of cool just to be able to do it but I don't know how practical it is but something I do think is practical is connecting a USB keyboard so I'll go ahead and unplug this guy and get my keyboard alright so I'm gonna go ahead and plug in my keyboard right here so here's the other end of the USB again I'll connect it right here like that and let's see if I have my notepad open okay so let's go to notepad new text alright so I'll go ahead and start typing on my keyboard so I'm in a kind of weird position right now so I'm not gonna be always have like I normally do but hopefully you'll get the point so right now I am typing on my keyboard this is a lot better than typing on the phone itself especially if I am writing a long email so you get the point pretty much everything works and not only that you could actually not other than typing you could actually cook control some masters phone such as back you press escape and it'll go back you can escape out of there you can use the directional pad to select things for example I can go to my games tap on it and choose what game I want just by using the directional pad again hit escape for that to back out of it so it's pretty cool you can also connect other devices like the Xbox 360 controller which I do for you know games like GTA supported natively otherwise you don't have to download an app that you know lets you modify the control so it works with other games but in the future we see we should see more and more games supporting this because it's new to Ice Cream Sandwich and definitely something I'd like to see alright that's pretty much it for this video I just wanted to give you a quick demo demonstration thank you for watching it and don't forget to visit 4.com for more cellphone news reviews and how to's thank you
