I suppose it might be possible to hack around the spec to enable this, but both the phone and the hub would need to be doing it, and I don't see why anyone would bother. Now if the phone had two interfaces, and you could connect one to the PC and one to the other device without the hub, that would be fine. | |

I know that a usb port can support up to 127 devices (at least according to the spec) but I wasn't sure if they can go in to multiple modes on android hardware/software | |
