This cable will allow your ARCHOS to have a full-sized USB Host port. That is, you
can connect a camera, a USB stick, a USB memory card reader, a mouse, a
keyboard, a combination mouse/keyboard, or a powered hard drive to your
ARCHOS*. By using this cable, your ARCHOS can download all the photos from your camera directly, without having
to transfer the photos to your computer first. See the ARCHOS on-line store to purchase this micro USB -B to USB-A
