Hmm I remember the vulnerability due hidden autostart from USB devices, but attacking a PC via USB.... "could be possibe" but his could be inside of every USB stick.

Or is there some other way this work? The samsung SoC supports to run one usb 1.1 port as host or as device. > I might dig around the Linux implementation a bit to learn more.

The the still short thread "usb device emulation" http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2006-November/000336.html Again and again, .... this device (even without bluetooth) has soooooo much power to do what wasn't possibel with PDA or smartphones before. And all my ideas on this list is only fractional amount what all all will be possible to do with it. Please everybody do not look to much on what wouldn't possible with it - think about what all will be possible! Think about the concept of the shell and the GNU tools, you can do very powerfull things just with combining 2-3 tools this device will be an "opener" for your ICT ideas, skills and potential. :))))) Cheers, rob _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
