What is the Motion Accessory Port and what can I use it for?
The Motion Accessory Port is a special, powered USB port. While all USB ports provide power, the USB specification for power does not deliver enough power for more power hungry devices such as large hard disk drives and DVD optical drives. The Motion Accessory Port combines USB 2.0 connectivity with the additional power required to power accessory devices. Today, the Motion Accessory Port, combined with the Motion Accessory Cable can be used to power the Motion USB DVD/CD-RW optical drive. With this configuration, external AC power is not required for USB DVD/CD-RW optical drive for use on airplanes or other environments that do not have access to AC power. You can use the Motion Accessory Cable with the MobileDock but not with the tablet alone.
