Neo / FreeRunner 'stand'

[Christopher Friedt]

Hmm...

This is all starting to sound surprisingly similar to a 'dock' ...

Here's a question for the USB / Power experts out there:

Assuming such a dock was constructed, that provided a powered USB hub,
is it possible for the Neo to simulatneously

1) run in host usb mode,
2) control a USB peripheral, e.g. keyboard, and also
3) to charge the battery from the powered USB hub

?
