Is it possible to connect a USB flash drive to a Atom and use it as a storage device like a SD card or are the Atom's USB connection purley slave type connections and not possible to 'tweak'?

OMG, Flame can do that? For other model I dont think there's a software tweak because the phone has to supply some power to the flash drive and I think it's a hardware thing. Anyway, tell me if you find one >_<

Yeah a Flame would be nice but can't afford to get rid of my Atom and get a Flame, 128mb Ram and a GPU sure is sweet tho. Put that kinda stuff in a Atom Life and that would rock!

you need your device compliant with USB Host, too bad atom only has Client Host USB.

you can use your atom as storage but you cannot add more memory unless you find someone who can change the hardware memory. or bebetter yet. if someone can find a way to permanently interface a flash drive(there are small ones available in the market) into the hardware without sacrificing the mini-sd card slot. if this can be done, then i think many people will stick to their atoms.
