Chris,
So we don't get into trouble here is how you might be able to transfer 
files to your android device from your ARMini.
However, son (who's not RO savvy) says that if the tablet was a phone he'd just send the files down the wire and Android would find a home for it all! 
Tempting.
I am assuming that your device came with a USB cable?
If so just plug it into your ARMini and it will show up as another 
drive.
Some devices however have more than one "drive" in them (my media player is like that) - if so you will need to temporarily disconnect the card reader that is built into the ARMini case if you have one.
If that still doesn't work get son to adjust what sort of device the tablet says it is when plugged in over USB (it is in the settings part 
of android)
I hope this helps and the only reason I have put this up here is for other ARMini users who want to transfer data between their ARMinis and external USB devices like phones, tablets, cameras and media devices.
Just to add to this, if you got it from R-Comp (the tablet), then you should have got a microUSB cable I believe, plus a booklet produced by R-comp telling you how to transfer files between RISC OS and the 
Tablet.
The trick I believe is make the Tablet display itself as a Mass 
Storage deveice to the ARMini.


Got cable.
Can open and transfer files between Armini and tablet. Problem is: I cant 'see' the micros card as a separate filing entity when looking at the Armini screen., so I cant d&d specific files - down the usb cable - into the microsd card which is in the tablet.
