Google needs to expose the USB port in android. That would allow a plethora of add-on third party devices that the iPhone would never be capable of supporting.

- catch23 17y agoI don't think the android can output 500mA of power needed by most devices... you probably can't even power a usb mouse.
- aswanson 17y agoThen just support messaging instead of power, initially, until battery tech catches up.
- catch23 17y agoerm, you know that battery tech hasn't changed much in the last 20 something years right? With USB 3.0 supporting 1 amp devices, I think we'll be seeing more power hungry usb devices than ones that can run on a battery pack. Bluetooth was engineered for the "USB" of mobile devices... I don't think there's a single battery powered platform that makes heavy use of usb for these obvious reasons.
