Regarding USB devices in general, it's my understanding that no
strongarm device can host USB devices - this is a limitation of the
strongarm usb controller I believe.

Here's a little more info:

For video cameras on a palmtop, the following sleeve will soon be (is?)
available for the iPAQ.

I don't believe drivers are yet available (under linux) but imagine it
won't be long before the CRL people support it.

HTH,
