I think you're wrong about all except possibly the very latest ones
using pxa27x chips.  The pxa25x based products would need a separate
controller chip to get host functionality.  I know for a fact that
even the C-860 doesn't have one integrated; folk use that CF/IO card,
with an sl811hs driver, if they crave a USB keyboard or flashdisk.
