Note that the USB port uses a mini-B socket instead of mini-AB so that a specially grounded adaptor is required to make full use of the USB OTG client/host auto-switching. Switching can be done in software with regular adaptors, though. USB OTG only provides 100 mA of power (versus full-size USB's 500 mA), so devices with larger power requirements will need to be used with a powered USB hub.
