<p>If you are developing on Windows and would like to connect an Android-powered device
to test your applications, then you need to install the appropriate USB driver. This document
provides links to the web sites for several device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),
where you can download the appropriate USB driver for your device. However, this list is
not exhaustive for all available Android-powered devices.</p>
<p>If your device is one of the Android Developer Phones (ADP), a Nexus One, or a Nexus S,
