USB host is a very highly effective characteristic of current Android based mostly smartphones and tablets, however on many firmwares (both stock and custom) the characteristic is considerably broken.

For instance, at launch the Galaxy Nexus told all the apps and the Market that it supported USB host, but USB host did not truly work (this was mounted within the Android 4.0.2 update). This broke a number of apps.

That is solely one instance of many. There are even instances the place OEMs promote USB host support, however the gadget does not support it at all. It seems as if USB host support is not examined by Google or the OEMs when they push out new firmwares and devices in any respect.
