android tablet usb adaptor?

[flashy]

Bought myself an android tablet yesterday and i need to buy a usb adaptor for it BUT i haven't a clue where it would go, the only ones i have seen on Amazon have chunky ports to be attached to the tablet, i don't have any chunky ports HELPPPPP

Shaz if you can put a clearer pic of the ports on here then it may be some help in advising you what you need to get.

I am posting a pic of my android tablet.....so you can see what my usb connector port looks like.
Is there anything on your tablet that looks like this?

Looks like you might need something like this to go into that hole to give you a USB port first.

Sue....I might be mistaken her, but those devices are to connect to the internet.....I know they have USB ports on them too, but I would have thought that there was a'host'
port...which is what connects to your computer via the USB.
My tablet connects wirelessly to the internet.......though I don't use it much for the internet...more to show Ma things(pics - emails from my sister and brother).
Shaz, were there no instructions with your tablet?

I bought the tablet off someone on facebook, no instructions, it works fine, the ports are headphones, charger, sd card and there's another but its very slim

It was only an example that I came across on ebay.

I thought that the 30 or 24 pin bit stuck into the tablet and that gave you a "normal" USB port. Like this:

Might help if she'd said what sort of tablet it is, or maybe I'll give up now...

Don't know if this is like yours but it comes with a device that looks exactly like one of the ones I posted in post 4.

What bits and pieces did yours come with?

[susie123]

Lots of Mid reviews on Youtube, they all seem to have this device sticking out the side... as I mentioned in post 4 - did you not get one with it?

MID is just an acronym for Mobile Internet Device......these unbranded tablets are Ok but the instruction booklets are as much use as a chocolate teapot.
Mine is a MID too...but it is supposed to have the guts of a Samsung tablet......but I have no way of checking this.
The long slot on your tablet has the icon for USB...but I do not recognise the connectionport...it is nothing like mine.
Shaz....I suggest you ask Mick. He might be able to help...he is a mine of information, especially when it comes to stuff like this.

That long port in the pic is not a USB

marg, thats exactly what i thought, it's the only place one can go though, i've just ordered a keyboard and case off amazon, thats why i needed to know where and what to get, the tablet only cost me £35 and only came with the charger and the box, i'm not really bothered about it, it does everything it's supposed to do, other than the things with the usb, i might take it down to a pc shop later and ask if they know


thankyou everyone for helping

Looking at the blurred photo none of those ports are USB
the one on the right looks like a power charging port the second one looks like a memory card slot the third looks like a head phone jack
not sure of the one on the far left
and Margaret the port in your photo the arrow is too is not a USB port the one on the right next to the memory slot looks more like a USB port

From left to right it is charger, headphones, long thin thing and memory slot
