Re: Ubuntu Edge (the Ubuntu handset)

 

Host meaning plugging a USB hard drive into the Edge and accessing it? That I don't know. Android now suuports this, and Ubuntu Touch being the same code as Ubuntu Desktop, I assume it would be able to support this. 

The only question are there MHL to female USB connectors?? Anyone know?
