Michele,

The PK does have USB functionality but it is only as a USB slave.  That
means it can connect directly to a PC via a USB cable to communicate with a
PC for such things as ActiveSync.  It is a faster connection than ActiveSync
over a serial cable.

However, in this situation the PK is a slave to the PC.  The opposite
situation would be true if it connected to a printer for example where the
printer would be the slave to the PK.

So PK is not capable of being the host, only the slave.  PK to Printer would
be slave to slave which is not possible.
