This looks awesome, I am yet to get my n810 but excited to play and experiment. One thing that I have been wondering about and this host usb just added fuel is if its possible to attach a usb cellular modem and then with some nify software connect to the internet anywhere! - anybody know if this is possible and or in dev?

Install USB Control, buy a F-F USB adaptor which costs about four eurs, and you can plug in a whole range of USB accessories into your tablet including keyboards and flash drives. You can even plug in an HDD apparently, as long as it's got its own power supply.

As well as giving us immediate access to accessories, it means developers can start thinking in terms of supporting mice and other exotic devices on the tablet.

One last point: you can use PS/2 keyboards as well, by buying an equally cheap PS/2-USB adaptor. You don't even need an active adaptor, the passive kind works fine, and they cost almost nothing.

excellent work, a cheap £5 flexible usb keyboard broadens the useability of the device on longer session of email, cli and note taking. Thanks very much.

How can I connect a USB keyboard to my N800? If you plug in a generic adaptor to make the keyboard's USB plug fit, does it work? Please advise...

Great tool. The only problem I've had is an error message when I connect a keyboard (standard Logitech UltraX Media), something about it being unable to connect to storage device because of missing file system. And every time I connect the keyboard I have to go into Control Panel -> Bluetooth keyboard to get the norwegian layout.
