Since USB is completely host-centric, a simple client device (such as the
lego nxt) cannot directly speak to another client device. You'd really need
a USB host, being most commonly a home computer. I know there are digital
cameras and cell phones which can connect directly to peripherals by USB,
AND can function as a client device, but those are exceptions. As Lego's on

client-only one. It is my guess the bluetooth interface is what tlg regards
as the one and only highway to other devices...
