I am looking for a solution to do USB host programming on Android using the new USB features.

Does anyone have experience with this already? Does it really work? Are there any particular limitations? What would be the best place to start?

I checked http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/host.html, but ideally need a working example.

I would regret the investment in a new Android phone/tablet just to do the development and then find out that certain USB functions do not work.

What I am particularly interested in is if there is experience doing serial communication over a FTDI chip using Android USB host programming.

In particular I would like to know if anybody has used the library from slickdevlabs to do this - is it worth it or can one just pick up any example code (like bluetooth) and go from there?

Many thanks
