). After reading through everything, it appears the tab 4 7" SHOULD work with a hotwire 2.0 (which doesn't require otg use). Is this correct? Can anyone confirm that a tab 4 7" (or tab 3 7") will work with Hotwire 2.0?
No, that's not accurate. The Android Device itself MUST support OTG technology. The difference between the HW 1.0 and 2.0 is that the 2.0 doesn't need an OTG cable.
I've never understood why Samsung removed OTG function from only SOME of their tablets. Good news is that places like Newegg has 7" tablets go on sale frequently for $30 to 40.
They had one recently that was listed in the Tekin HW App thread a few pages back.
