Got my x5 today and I love this thing, but there's one thing I'm having problems with, the venerable USBOTG feature. So I hook up the most basic of USB devices, a flash thumb drive with the x5's proprietary cable. A Sandisk Cruzer Titanium to be exact. I then enter USB host mode, and the flash drive's LED lights up, and the letters "dev" appear on the top left corner of the x5's screen. I'm assuming this means the drive is recognized and connected. I see no way of accessing the flash drive's contents. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I was under the impression that all USMD compliant devices (except ipods) would work with this feature and a flash drive is most certainly USMD (no drivers necessary, obwiously). Like I said, the drive's LED lights up an everything so it is recieving power. Why can't I acess it's contents?

Nevermind, I figured out howv Turns out that you have to hold down the record button in order to switch back and forth between the device and host. Now why wasn't that mentioned in the manual?
