Thanks for the reply.

I only found this device capable of a little USB Host feature: HTC Advantage X7510 (http://www.mobiletechreview.com/HTC-Advantage- X7510.htm) - it only allows you to connect a VGA Monitor trough the USB and connect storage like pen drive and card readers. Its not much but still, it's a begining. The device runs on Windows Mobile 6.1.

Well, as a minor conclusion: Google wants Android platform to be a great platform. But sadly, Windows Mobile 6.1 seems to be ahead of Android.

I posted the sugestions here
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/topics, since the http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list asks to post only bugs there.

cheers

I see no reason that they should disallow it. To prevent your suggestion being lost, why not go here and enter it? That way they will keep it in mind as they evolve the
