3.) press the home button (two squares)
the quick taskbar will pop-up.
Nope. The browser shrinks to telescoped view. No quick taskbar pop-up.

If I do a longer press on the home key I get the home screen displayed. Still no access to the application menu.

7.) to open another application simply repeat steps 3-6.
8.) ctrl+q to close a window
Possibly something like this will work, but I can get access to anything apart from the desktop widgets and the main home page menu. Not the application menu.

Requires:
* wired keyboard (or a wireless one that has a usb dongle; non-bt dongle)
* USB OTG adapter
What is this USB OTG adapter? Is it just a F/F USB adapter or is there more to it than that?
