I was wondering if I could add USB host support to a CE device that only has a mini USB port. Is it just a matter of adding the right driver and getting a mini USB plug to female USB adapter, or is there something that could be fundamentally in the way of this plan?

is the mini usb port a serial port slave connection or if you adapt to to USB A does it host?

If the former, it's just a serial header terminating in a USB port, if the latter it is either wired into a USB controller chip or the CPU. In which case, no, you cannot change it.
