can I use a usb flash drive with this unit without anything else to purchase?

Scott, the unit is specifically equipped to use an iPod/iPhone connection and control the music app of the Apple device. The supplied cable would not handle anything else. It does, however, have an auxiliary 1/4 input for plugging in another device. A USB flash drive would not operate on it.

no it's not possible, either use an auxiliary cord or the standard 30 pin iPod cord

You can use usb drives with it just have to get a OTG cable which is fairly cheap! You DON"T need a docking staion!!

Doesn't come with anything USB, however you may be able to re-purpose it somehow.

The usb device would need power such as a cell phone I do not think you can use a usb flash drive

Yes, but I'm pretty sure you'll need to root the tablet before you can use a flash drive. However it does work.

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.

It is OS Independent. Anyone Operating System that can mount/unmount a flash drive, can use this device. Windows XP, MacOSX or Linux.

Hello and thank you for your question. The USB Solution is a separate purchase.

Yes you can use USB devices, including a thumb drive. I do this all the time.

I just got one that uses a different chipset than typical USB drives, which registers it as a local disk rather than removable media as part of Win8 certification. You'd need third party software to load ISO images onto the drive.

Hey Joshua, You would have to use an external USB CD drive, the unit does not have built in drivers.
