Android USB host?

2010-07-19 22:35:54.592602+02 by Dan Lyke 4 comments

I'll probably need an Android phone that can act as a USB host shortly.

If anyone else has info on using an Android phone as a USB host, I'd like to hear it. Shawn Mike Kelley suggested this Android tablet.

Warning: Apparently the Droid X can't be rooted, at least not yet.

Good to know. From a market driving standpoint, it's also useful to know that nobody's actively supporting an Android as a USB host. Makes some product direction issues a little harder.
