But that is another story ....

Which probably is why they currently released the specs for USB 3.0, and mobile companys decided to use a common micro-USB connector for recharging?

How else do you install new applications? AFAIK, the only way to go without the App-Store on the iPhone was to Jailbreak it, resulting in not only a few "bricked" phones.

Nobody said such a thing. But from the way it was touted as the ultimate internet appliance, I'd at least expect it to be able to have both a browser and a text processor open. If it was possible 10 years ago, on less powerful hardware, why isn't it now?

lsusb

lsusb(8)							Linux USB Utilities							  lsusb(8)

NAME

       lsusb - list all USB devices

SYNOPSIS

       lsusb [options]

DESCRIPTION

       lsusb is a utility for displaying information about all USB buses in the system and all devices connected to them.

       To make use of all the features of this program, you need to have Linux kernel 2.3.15 or newer which supports the /proc/bus/usb interface.

OPTIONS

       -v     Tells lsusb to be verbose and display detailed information about all devices.

       -vv    Tells lsusb to be very verbose and display even more information (actually everything the PCI device is able to tell).

       -s [[<bus>]:][<devnum>]]
	      Show only devices in specified bus and devnum.

       -d [<vendor>]:[<product>]
	      Show only devices with specified vendor and product ID. Both ID's are given in hexadecimal and may be omitted.

       -p <procpath>
	      Use another path instead of /proc/bus/usb.

       -D <device>
	      Do not scan the /proc/bus/usb directory, instead display only information if the device whose device file is given.

       -t     Tells lsusb to dump the physical USB device hierarchy as a tree.

FILES

       /usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids
	      A list of all known USB ID's (vendors, products, classes, subclasses and protocols).

       /proc/bus/usb
	      An  interface  to USB devices provided by the post-2.3.15 Linux kernels. Contains per-bus subdirectories with per-device files and a
	      devices file containing a list of all USB devices.
