yes and no. it would be simple to scan the usb bus every 0.5 seconds and compare the result to the last scan to see if anything changed. but if you want to save power on laptops and idle as much as you can, I guess the code you need will be much more complex. also it might be difficult to write such code cross-plattform. at least mac OS X has a very different usb interface, and I'm not sure if libusb can abstract away all the pain of two different designs.
