Second generation IOIO Android USB board is in the works

Ytai has been working on the second generation IOIO, a USB development board for Android OS devices. The next version will feature USB on-the-go (OTG), meaning it will be capable of both acting as a USB host, like the current version, and as a USB device.

The next generation of IOIO will be a USB on-the-go (OTG) device. What this means in practice, is that the new IOIO will be capable of acting either as a USB host (like the current IOIO) or as a USB device (allowing it to connect to a PC as well as be powered by it). Moreover, it will be able to auto-detect which is the right role, according to whichever cable is connected to it (a micro-A or micro-B).
