Nexus One gets USB host driver from a dude with an oscilloscope

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/nexus-one-gets-usb-host-driver-from-a-dud... For Sven Killig, running Android 2.2 wasn't enough. No sir, this dude wanted even more power for his Nexus One, so he went ahead and penned a few lines of code that have allowed his Googlephone to act as a USB host. As a result, he can now do cutting edge stuff like plugging in USB keyboards and webcams, as well as more useful things like watching movies off USB sticks or connecting to a monitor via a DisplayLink USB-to-DVI adapter. All these features are demonstrated in the video after the break, and you'll find the downloadable binaries at the source -- Sven expects them to work on Android 2.1 as well.

Chris Brilliant stuff, only i need a nexus to try it out :-) Is google offering any? On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 4:38 PM, Christopher Kiagiri <ck@google.com> wrote:
