USB 2.0 support does not predicate that it supports "hi-speed", as I understand it...

Who said that computer geeks were pedantic, bordering on the retentive, eh?

So the Z must be 2.0 compatible if it claims to be On-The-Go. It has an On-The-Go port, but no logo or mention of it in the manual etc. The USB.org site doesn't provide any high level information to suggest any practical difference between USB1.1 and USB2.0 other than speed.

Yes. It would appear that even old USB 1.1 devices can claim to be USB 2.0 compliant (I presume there are some minor differences between the 1.1 and 2.0 requirements).

This is a bit of a shame, as now one has to look for an explicit speed, or the difficult to remember named speed descriptions, (rather than just the 2.0 or 1.1 (or 1.0!)
