#182253 - Typical journalistic mis-reporting?
Responding to: ???'s previous message

See: http://www.eetimes.com/electroni...geNumber=1

Google want to make Android a USB Device ("slave") - so that any accessory would have to be a USB Host.

The EE Times article appears to be incorrect in stating that, "Android is unusual in that it is defined as a device, not a host".

In fact, it is only the "Accessory" mode in which Android is the Device - there is also a Host mode:

However, the existence of Android "Accessory" devices could still have the advantage for "us" that I suggested originally...?
