title: developing and testing Android app using USB host mode
body: <p>I found that USB host mode is available starting with Android 3.1.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way one could use the PC/MAC or update a Galaxy I9000 so it can be used for reliable development and testing?</p>
  
  <p>If I use the MAC or PC USB port in Emulation, will this be the same as using the USB plug on an Android 3.1 or higher device?</p>
  
  <p>Or is there really no other way than to buy a new Android device with 3.1 or higher installed already?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks</p>
