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.

thanks for the help. That saved me another $30

What I'm looking for is a tablet that is USB otg capable, small, & I can get a rugged case for (otterbox, giffin, etc) because it will be used virtually exclusively at the track, & is cheap (relatively any way). The closest thing I have found so far is the Samsung galaxy tab 4 8". Can I get someone to confirm that it is USB otg capable and will work with the hot wire 1.0 if I use a USB otg cable?
