I am also very interested in getting USB OTG (or other USB host functionality) to work on the Dell Streak. Has anyone had any success? I am open to unorthodox solutions (I'm not afraid to take the device apart, for example), and I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of writing a new driver, but if anyone has any experience at all, that would be a huge jump in the right direction.
