Is there going to be capability soon where you can upload the data via USB and not Wi-FI?

The wi-fi is spotty (I would like to use a different term but will keep it rated G) in the office and would like to know if the capability of uploading data via USB to desktop is coming. Most the time I need to go to the local Thomas Hammer to download data so there are no sync errors.

That feature would be greatly appreciated!

I got this to work with a micro USB to USB OTG adapter and a USB OTG to RJ45 adapter. You plug your ethernet cord into that. And you need the local network settings on the device, if your device supports a connection like that... I forget the details... stuff like the DNS settings and whatnot, and I think you set a static IP for the device. I did this initially until I got wifi installed here. Oh, the USB to RJ45 adapter you need is the BobJGear internet adaptor for Android, which you can get on Amazon. I got a different one initially (Startech) and it did not work. By the way, this will probably not work for Apple devices, since they are much less flexible in general.
