Hi Kit, I am interested in this subject and have a few killer apps in mind that are possible only if I can make the Android phone work as a HOST USB and not Device. Did you figure anything out, I believe not, since you haven't posted anything. Let me know what stage are you at and we can share things. I am not a pro developer but I understand the technicalities and have some programming/developing background around embedded systems.
Let me know.
