hi all

i just got a usb adaptor and a keyboeard as i figured it was far cheaper than a bluetooth keyboard and i don't have a huge deal of money to spend on these kind of things. i'm using usbcontrol to put me into host mode, which works great.

anyway, it seems that i can't use usb things for very long as they take so much battery power. i assumed it was the keyboard but actually a memory stick had the exact same effect - plug these things in and it reads 1 hour battery time when the battery is fully charged, but if i unplug them then it goes back to normal.

any ideas? i really don't wanna buy a usb powerboost thing as that's so annoying to carry around on top of a small keyboard.

thanks in advance
