Will Nokia Cyan bring USB OTG?

[Rangan Das]

Just asking, will the Nokia Cyan Update will have USB On-the-Go?

With Microsoft prepping for the release of their new File Manager application and also Snapdragon S4 SoCs supporting USB-OTG, they should add the support for USB OTG on Lumia's right? Is there any news related to that right now?

If there is a news or something, I will invest for an USB OTG pen drive...

Not news, and its not likely.

There have been no rumblings of the Lumia Cyan equipped 63x phones having OTG, so its safe to say no OTG on the horizon just yet.

What devices would you use with USB OTG? Pen Drive? Not sure what that is?

Storage devices. Pen drives. I saw this tweet that WP8.1 supports USB OTG. If you plug in a pen drive, it shows "tap to view files". But I am not sure which app it uses to view files.

I also voted for it.

Back to the topic.. no.
If OTG ever comes to WP (and I think it will, soon), it will come with the OS, not with the frimware.
