HI!
Is there a way to connect USB Flash disk or bigger portable disk like WD MyBook to PPC thrue miniUSB to USB converter?
few pda's and no htc ones i know of support usb hosting
they are pasive Peripheral's which can only be accessed by other hosts
Is that a matter of software or hardware ?
hardware is the issue

Hi guys!
Is it possible to connect a pendrive to the Jam in order to transer the files from pendrive to Jam?
No - this requires USB host control or USB on the Go, which the magician doesn't have.

Actually, the processor in the magician HAS usb on the go support, and the magician itself has an usb on the go port. I don't know if the operating system has the required drivers, but the hardware could do it.
Wow, cool, I didn't know that.
Do any of the HTC devices have on the go facility working then?

Just curious what all can be done with the mini USB connector on the Wizard other than Active Sync and charging.
Could the device be used to charge a bluetooth headset that also takes mini USB?
Possible to add a pocket drive for more storage?
I am pretty sure with the level of talented people here that someone has found ways to maximize functionality through this port.
it's only for charging and file trasfer
the device doesn't support usb host so you can't use a drive, or keyboard, etc with the usb
With WM5Storage or CardExportII the miniSD card can be used as USB FLASHDRIVE

you need the USB Host cable, which is available to buy on the internet, you can't just plug your usb device straight to Athena's usb slot, it won't work
Works fine for me with the USB host cable and a 2Gb USB key - but you have to connect it, then soft reset.
Then it shows up in file explorer as 'Hard Disk'.
I can't find a proof data that Dell Streak support USB _host_
Does somebody know it for sure?
If yes, could it support at least usb keyboard/mouse and external HDD without some kind of hacks?
You can use blutooth keyboard http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/06/dell-streak-supports-bluetooth-keyboards.html
how would you connect usb devices with cable?
So, let's imagine we sucessfully connected Keyboard and Mouse as Bluetooth HID devices.
But, sorry, it's not discover whether does it have USB host (!) or not.
The question is:
-will we have ability to have acess via USB to our USB storages (any, HDDs, DVD/BD drives, Flash drives)
-will we have ability to use USB peripheral devices like (additional) USB video cameras, printers, USB-Ethernet devices, etc (after got drivers for it)?
Does anyone know if the microSD and/or USB Flash drives show up as USB drives on PC? Do the standard Android development tools connect-up through the USB and 'just work' like they do for my phone? I assume that the miniUSB plug is the one that connects to your PC since the other are listed as 'Host' on the Notion Ink Tech specs page.
you would connect to computer with the miniusb, the microsd would mount to computer just as it would with a phone. that would be nice if a usb flash drive did to but i'm not sure about that.
