In prep for a backpack trip to South America and elsewhere....I purchased a Lapdock for my 4G. The 4G is open so I will be able to get SIM cards in various places I plan to roam-- I purchased the Lapdock to accomplish a couple of things 1) to be able to journal and save the entries; and 2) to be able to transfer photos from my camera to my FreeAgent drive. So far I can not make the phone/lapdock combo recognize the Freeagent. One reason may be that the phone is Linux and the FreeAgent may be formatted FAT32. Normally Linux wont have any problems recognizing a non native file system but I am not so sure about Android.
So far the 4G/Lapdock combination has worked reasonaby well. Journaling is getting easier the more I get used to the ideosynchronicities of the combination. The keyboard for any extended work isnt that great but hopefully that will improve with more use (I know buy a bluetooth keyboard...thats just one more thing to carry LOL).
In any case I would be interested to hear from anyone thats been able to mount and use a Freeagent drive with this combination.
TIA
