As I understand it, it has USB on-the-go which requires a Mini-AB socket. So you can plug a Mini-A cable into it, and it will behave like a master. Or is the issue powered vs. unpowered? It would be nice to be able to plug a stnadard USB flash stick directly into the phone and use it... you know, given the power requirements of a flash stick, it ought to be possible to have a (noncompliant, I know) device with an A socket on one side, a mini-A plug on the other, and a battery capable of powering a USB stick in the middle. Something like that could probably be the size of the molded strain relief on the socket end of a USB extension cord (also non-compliant, I know, but terribly useful). _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
