Can a TP2 read USB flash drives with an adapter like this?
 
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...ingid=57453099

If I connect something like that to the miniusb port of the phone and connect a flash drive to it, will it read it?

If not, is it at all possible to connect a USB flash drive to a TP2?

It looks like it would work fine but I Don't know for sure till you try it. Good luck & let us know.

Don't flash drives auto load the driver required to use them?

This will not work for the TP2 right now. What you want to do is use your TP2 as a USB host so it can read a USB drive. They have a cab that activates this in some winmo phones but it hasn't been setup for the TP2 yet.
Here is a thread with some stuff about it (search for USB host):

Hopefully some folks at xda can figure out how to activate it for the tp2, cause what you want to do sounds cool.
