Actually, this is not at all far fetched. In fact, you can do that *right now with current hardware*, the only issue is that 'droid (the software) doesn't support usb master mode or any of the fancy load-on- plugin functions.
You don't actually need to have several usb plugs to support multiple usb devices; if you are connecting multiple usb devices, use a usb hub. With a little work on the 'droid software, you could *easily* plug a usb device or (hub+devices) into any current droid handheld. of course, as someone else mentioned, bluetooth might be a better approach... for one, bluetooth devices don't need to take power from the usb host... i.e., you wouldn't be able to get enough power out of a phone to run your usb-powered scanner, or probably even a mouse. It would have to be powered externally, which is another layer of mess that you would be carting around with you.
