added ADK specification to the mega for accuracy

You can of course add an embedded USB host chip to a Mega, but it is probably not cost effective to do so compared to devices which have that natively. The Due, while still overpriced, is comparatively a good deal since it costs less than a board + host shield and is in the class of things which are far more capable as computational platforms (but still twice what you need to spend on hardware to do this). | |
