Re: USB

Could the H2200 series have one of these new USB ports (USB On-the-Go -
host and peripheral functions) that allow it to be switched by software
between host and client. The only device I know with this new style
port is a device my finance is looking at that is for the blind and
visually impaired, it's called the Pacmate and it was designed off a
Compaq/HP iPAQ development board running Pocket PC and is designed by
Freedom Scientific. If we get this device for her I might "Borrow" it a
few times to see if I can breed penguins on it, hehe :-)

That would be a very interesting project indeed. I actually would like
to know if someone could inspect the standard features below to see what
iPAQ it my be closest to, thanks.
