Use of OTG on the nspire possible?

if you look at the Nspire's specs, as well as the USB cable, you can see that it has an OTG port. This port allows for the Device to be a host or be controlled by another host.

Example of usage:
As slave: Hooked to PC
As Host: Hooked to USB Mass Storage device, keyboard, mouse, etc.

In my mind, this presents great possibilities. Did ti make it impossible to use in that way?

DJ Omnimaga:
What does OTG stands for?

willrandship:
On the Go. It simply means that that particular port can act as host or slave. It's common for phones, so they can have usb mikes and still hook to a pc.

If you look at an nspire link cable, one of the slots is different from the other. that is because it is telling the port to go to host mode.

DJ Omnimaga:
Aaah I see, I guess it could be something developers should check into when they are less busy with Ndless 2.0

USB Host on the Nspire would be a dream! Wishful thinking, but can someone say mini wifi adaptor for network games/minimal web browsing?
Ok ok, I'll go back to bed...
