    I am testing the android 1.3 image and it is way better than previous versions. One thing I am curious is the usb port, plugging in usb mouse or keyboard or any combination works fine. Also plugging in usb flash drives works fine too. But I can't get anything else to work, no webcams, no microphone. Is there a trick or setting, or does an app need to be downloaded or made?

    TIA

    Hi,
    if Android does not support the peripheral that you plugged you cannot use it.
    Mouse, keyboard and USB Flash drive are standard peripherals so their drivers are included into Android.
    Webcams are more complex peripherals so they need specific driver, you could search some app that include the drivers needed but by default you cannot use it.
