It can be _really_ useful for a phone or PDA to have a host port, but
for the iPhone there's other missing functionality that limit such
usefulness. You wouldn't want to hook up your digital camera to your
iPhone to upload photos from the camera to the iPhone, since the iPhone
doesn't have much flash memory.
