powered vs. non-powered

Powered hubs have an adapter that plugs into them, allowing the Zaurus to use USB devices that draw more than the 200mA(?) that that Zaurus can put out. These can likely work without the adapter as normal USB hubs.

Non-powered USB hubs simply allow you to connect more devices to the Zaurus's USB port. This works so long as they don't collectively draw more than 200mA(?).
