USB Host: Important or Not?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 02:00 PM
I was reading through comments about the upcoming Dell Axim X50, and several people were commenting on how important USB host capability is. To be frank, I've never owned a Pocket PC with USB host capabilities, nor have I ever looked for that feature in a device. So I'm curious to know, using a survey, how important this feature is to you - is it a deal breaker? Also, for those that want USB host, tell me what you use it for? My understanding of it was that without driver support, the vast majority of devices couldn't be used...and I don't think there's much driver support out there for devices. So what USB devices do you use with your Pocket PC? What are the cool scenarios that would make me want this feature in a Pocket PC?
