It seems that Asdx would prefer to just use the device directly, to maintain portability, but since a lot of USB devices rely on the processor of the host device for much of their work, the driver could be pretty elaborate. It certainly wouldn't be supported by the eDGe out of the box, and Android-based software that communicates with hardware is often platform dependent.

The answer to the first part is that it should be possible. I have a friend that has a notebook with win XP - the internal moden is used on dial up and he has a wireless AP on the lan port which connects the modem to his other wireless devices. XP has the capability of linking the modem and AP in bridge mode.
As you say, it would not be easy to get the the unit to connect directly to the edge but it might just be possible if a programmer is well versed in Android and is able to reverse engineer the parts that are relevant. Not a task that would be undertaken lightly. Even then there is no guarantee that it would work reliably.
Overall I would say that at the moment, no it can't be done.
