my thought is that they probably wanted the profit potential of selling an addon that was capable of having a USB Host function (a product that would surely be very popular to those on this thread)... so it's my thought that a good financial move would be to wire the pins on the PDAs main connector from the PXA270 chip direct... then put the root hub into the expansion system...
imo, such a system would probably sell, and sell fairly well, but only to people who wanna be able to access something like a pen-drive, on their PDA, on the fly. though, the additional bulk would probably make the product a little less appealing. but i digress. i'd buy one.
it's likely that they figured the venture too risky for something with so many problems already (just poking around, i'm sure you can see the multitude of issues people have with their axims).. nevermind the driver headaches, marketing to a consumer base thats already aggrivated, etc etc.
so imo, there's a decent chance going that they included pcb leads for at least the host header. which is good for us...
i'm crossing my fingers that its on the sync. connector. though, considering i havn't used my warranty so far, and i don't think i will (considering all the potential i have to fix the ax myself), i might just forego my warranty to put a USB connector on it... because i'd LOVE to have usb HOST function on my AX!
