I'm trying to use the gtab to view photos taken with my camera, which uses full-sized SD cards.
For standard SD cards 2 GB or smaller, I can plug my camera right in via the full-sized USB host and look through the pictures in any file manager app (Astro, ES, etc.). However, if I use a 8 GB SDHC card in the camera, none of the file managers will find the files and the /usbdisk directory shows as empty. Same result if I put the SDHC card into a card reader and plug it in. I've tried two different 8 GB cards, a Transcend and a SanDisk Extreme.
Anyone else experience this problem? Any work arounds? I suppose I could buy a bunch of micro SDHC cards and an adapter to use them in my camera, then use the micro SDHC slot on the gtab. But I don't know if micro SDHC cards are fast enough to record HD video or do burst/RAW photos (without being ridiculously expensive).
The major selling point for me was being able to take pictures while on vacation and then view them later that day with my family without having to lug around a full-blown laptop. :<
