USB shield is one of my favourite among all shields, the reason is this shield enhances the capability of arduino board and make it possible to control arduino boards with almost all USB devices. There are already few available USB host shields from Sparkfun's , Circuit@home and many more cmpanies. But,this one is officially created by arduino team made with love Italy :-). This shield open a whole new domain of controlling the arduino because most of the gaming controllers are USB based. That means all your XBOX, PS and NINTENDO gaming controller can be used to control any of your home appliance or control any robot and can be used to create new cool projects. The fun doesn't just end here it also supports bluetooth dongle which means you can make wireless projects easily and without any compatibility issues.
This shield is really a opportunity for MAKERS to play with it and share some really cool projects with the world. I am really hoping to get one of the shields and planning to make PS remote controlled robot. I hope you people will also enjoy playing with this .
