Why have such seemingly simple things gotten so hard?
Like nobody ever figured one would want to use and charge a device at
the same time?
This capability should be part of the tablet.
I'd comment on how hard it is to key a radio via a computer these days
but won't.

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.

I bought a win 8.1 (not RT) tablet from Cowboom for $59, hoping to
interface it using its
micro USB port. However the USB port is the only way to provide
power to the thing,
and battery life is such I'd like to leave it on charge while
operating, while not losing the
USB port data functionality.
The unit is sold by Best Buy under the Unbranded name.
Anyone have luck powering such a tablet without losing the USB data
capability?
