Port images or videos from camera to pc without removing sd card from camera...also essential if computer has no card reader.

The USB cable can be used to connect and download from the camera to a computer, hard drive or recorder. That's not the easiest way for most folks though. It's easier to pull out the memory chip and stick it in your computer to transfer it.

Although I haven't used mine yet, I suppose its there to download video files directly to your computer.

In my experience, the USB is only used for charging. The speaker cable is used for the audio.

Also the USB port is a B type not one for hooking a device to. Likely it's meant to hook to a computer only.

The USB is an adapter for inserting the SD card when a computer doesn't have the appropriate slot. This way any computer with a USB drive can read the card. It is not an actual storage unit.

It's been a long time. I think a cable came with my drive. I don't see why you could not use any USB cable. I switch them all the time.

I believe that the intention behind the USB ports is to connect external hard drives to add to the available space, not workstations. If, by, workstation, you mean other personal computers, then those are meant to connect via the network.

No. The extra USB connection is to provide more power to one device than a single connection allows. Some hard drives need more power and that's what this cable is for.

Shawn, the USB cable is only for charging the internal battery of the keyboard. I connected it to my laptop and all it does is charge the battery. The instruction manual doesn't mention about USB keyboard functionality. But I could be wrong.

The included cable lets me hook either to my old computer (usb 2.0) & to my new laptop (usb 3.0). I assume there is some cost in performance but I use it for storage and it works to my expectations.

You just use the USB cable and plug it into your computer. Very easy to use!!!

The cable that comes out of the device is a USB terminal that can be connected to an included USB wall plug or another USB power source. Not worth the money.

I'm not sure. I would think it could be used wherever a USB cable is used. I used mine to get a wireless adapter closer to an Access Point.

The USB connection isn't very long, it's around a meter or so, but you could probably be able to buy a longer one to suit your needs.

You plug it into the electrical outlet. I've not seen a USB connection on it.

The USB port is for charging *other* devices, like your phone or iPad. You can do that while using the Bluetooth if your device runs low.

Any USB to min-USB (not micro-USB) can be used. This is from personal experience.
