Up until recently, USB host mode was complex and usually needed a special USB chip to support it, but recently a full USB host mode software stack (LUFA) for embedded devices was open-sourced and has been ported to ARM and AVR devices:

Another option is the Kindle 3, which has an external serial port that could easily be connected to almost any little embedded processor (such as the $4.30) TI 4-3-Oh device. |
