Once it is connected to your machine, you can run applications off the drive, it is just another drive on your machine, unless the applications requires that it be installed on C:

I'm not sure. But if your able to download the needed application it should work.

Your phone will see ur passport and u can upload or download files from ur hard drive or phone. Your phone will use its file explorer to download or upload files. One issue which is not the fault this wire is that sometimes the file explorer does not recognize the hard drive and you have to use other file explorer to take care of your needs. I hope this helps.

Yea, I can't get mine to work either. Idiotic Vista, or idiotic Canon? take your pick, I suppose. Canon's software is pretty cruddy to begin with. oh! wait...wait... THERE! Got it to work. I simply re-ran the installer EXE downloaded from the Canon web site, but this time I right-clicked on the EXE file and selected "Run as Administrator...". Yes, I recall now, on Vista, even if you ARE the Administrator, you really aren't, unless you select this option for running your install scripts and so forth. Goofy, but now it's working just like it did on XP before I migrated. (The migration involved a new machine etc).

Don't know- I have not had to as yet. I keep it in my passport so it gets little use. Try contacting a seller, perhaps to determine availability.

2-3 miles in optimum conditions, (flat, straight ahead, no obstacles), as to updateability, only by sending it to Escort/Passport

I am looking for an external hard drive to back up my entire lap top hard drive, in case of failure. Is the Passport Essential the unit I am looking for?

You can connect the drive (assuming it's USB), via the dongle or the USB on the keyboard, but your Tax app will not run, unless it's in the app store. If you are looking to reaplce your laptop, I would look towards a slate or surface professional that run full blown Windows 8.

I was able to connect my (http://www.amazon.com/Passport-Ultra-Portable-External-Backup/dp/B00E055H5O) without using any adapter.

In a pinch I'm sure you could use it for that, but check the passport requirements, not sure what you need to submit.

Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take. Also, MySports desktop app still locks up for me everytime I sync (have to close and reopen/resync). I didn't care much for the MySports website, but I already use RunKeeper anyway. It's completely comfortable, and sized just like a normal digital watch.I REALLY want to like this watch, and I still kinda do. If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend holding off until/if they fix it... as it seems to be one of the best out there for the price--once it's all working. I'm holding out hope for it, but will be watching my return window closely. Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take.

I have a 385 compact photo printer, as far as I know it can print passport photos. The HP website talks about all their photo printers come with this ability. I never tested this feature out because my passport has not expired yet.

Nope, you can't run Microsoft Office. You can write Google Drive documents (and export in Word format), or wait until Google fully integrates QuickOffice, or use the Chromebook as a remote screen and keyboard on a regular PC running Office. Oh, and you can use the Microsoft Word web app. The possibilities are documented in http://www.amazon.com/The-Chrome-Book-Fourth-Edition/dp/149095175X

Yes. The software works like any other window application. You can have it open and running in a small window while working on something else. I've done it many times.

There has to be an app installed for it to run. I am not sure if one has been written for it or not.

I don't believe so, but that's a strange requirement. What's your application?
