It's a amazing work

I will make something like this to me :P
I have a question. The USB Hub is to connect to a PC, right?

Yes, the USB port on the left side connects both the USB hub in the front, and the phone to the PC.

And you don't have problems with the power with the phone and 2 PEN's, for exemple?

Well if you've used a non-powered USB hub before you will know that it can't supply enough power to fill up all it's ports with power-drawing devices. I've found that I can have my phone and two USB sticks plugged in at the same time and it works fine. But once the fourth port is filled some of them stop working. It was something I knew would happen from the start, but it's not a tough sacrifice to make.

I also thought about using a powered USB hub, but didn't want any more wires sticking out.

Wow, amazing job!

I would add the HUB with external power source though - using a lot devices

cool

Can we do it ourself?

That's pretty cool.

In your circuit i see that you use a 3.5mm jack to connect line out to your amp.

I think this can't be used in your application, because you connect to the PC, but if that isn't required, this could be an option.
