Apparently the K-1 ships with no female usb host cable in the U.S. shredzone, in Germany, got one. Why Lenovo would have such a policy is beyond me. I spent a while on the phone with Tech Support (not customer service) tel. (877) 453-6686 press option #1 then #2. Aside from the usual language difficulty the support person seemed clueless as to the existence of such a cable. This even though I told him that a German K-1 owner received the cable with his K-1. After lengthy period on hold the end result was they don't stock the part and couldn't give me one even if they had it. I mentiined the gender mender that (at that time) was en route from China. He said that seemed like a solution, but now that it has arrived (yesterday) the K-1 still doesn't recognize a usb stick.
K-1 owners please call the above # and register your complaints. Maybe Lenovo will solve the problem.
BTW plugged into my one of my Lenovo laptop's usb ports the K-1 does not show up under Linux Mint but does under Windows.
So far my only way of getting files over to the K-1 has been BT. Very disappointed.
