Your friend probably has the Toshiba Thrive which has a full size regular USB port. If, as some have suggested, the Playbook is capable of doing these things, it has no USB host function yet.
Yeah... but i mean... is the micro usb input on the playbook of supporting this in case there was a keyboard with mifro usb plug.
It was alluded to very early on (by RIM) ..Let me see if I can track down the interview where it was mentioned. May take me a while, but I will try to find it.

Where if you ssh to your playbook you can actually see the commands that show options for turning on and off the host mode. Some other dev mentioned in the thread that he noticed work was being done with respect to usb host mode by looking at the files.

Chalk this up as a feature hoped to be released in 2.0
