USB host shield is nice, but I'd prefer an integrated USB host microcontrolller board. Micropendous is very nice, but isn't produced in large quantities, so it might be perfect for SparkFun:

Also FTDI also has the Vinculo board, which is kinda hard to find online:

If someone is willing to design something from scratch, there's the PIC24F32GB002 micro which has USB otg/host support and comes in a DIP package. A hand-solderable breakout board would be a nice and most of all cheap solution.
