Hardware yes, software no at present (I'm told). The USB connector is actually a Mini-AB, so either a host or a device can be plugged in. At present the software only enables the phone as a device (I'm not quite sure how the handshake would work to just notice that a device was plugged into it; it's not a full USB On-The-Go stack). >(At a high level, my use case is "take pictures from my real camera >and upload them directly to flickr" :-) That requires either an SD >slot, or USB host to talk to the card directly (or USB to talk to the >camera, but that's less portable.)

It's my understanding that it would "only" require software changes. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
