    Can we use our phones as mini generators?

    So we have dc to ac adapteres.
    Is there any micro usb to ac outlets we can plug stuff into?
    Such as speakers, cell phone chargers?
    Is the Droid X capable of doing this?

    I believe that this would require USB Host mode which the stock Droid 3 cannot do. Ice Cream Sandwich, the next Android version, supposedly will have this feature. Also, non-stock OS may have this implemented.
    Do you like uninstallable bloatware?
    It takes about 5 minutes to complain and it's kinda fun. Let's not be complacent!

    Something like this might work Amazon.com: USB A 2.0 female to Micro USB B male Cable Adapter: Electronics

    But like I said, you might need USB host mode implemented to supply power to something that you plug in. I could be wrong about this, but I think that's how USB works.
