I use a Dell Venue 8 Pro and like many new tablets and phones it uses
USB On The Go for connectivity. Dell sells this:
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=470-ABES#Overview
and it allows what you need. USB OTG negotiates charging and data
according to a set of rules which I have not figured out yet, need to
research that sometime! No connection to Dell other than a satisfied
user. I'm sure this is available other places as well.

The unit is sold by Best Buy under the Unbranded name.
Anyone have luck powering such a tablet without losing the USB data capability?
