Does it have OTG support

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

r more precisely, does it AUTOMATICALLY switch to host mode? AAll such adapters can support host, but most require manually setting host mode on.

How much was shipping?

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

Does it have pins 4 and 5 on the mini-b connected so it will automatically select USB OTG Host mode?

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

It does not do OTG automagically, but I have mine in host and never use usb transfer. It sure beats my nokia cable with the female to female converter. I used to have a 3 foot cable, this is much nicer.

it was like $9.50 shipping, it said UPS. It was shipped via first class mail, for under 1$. He gave me some line about shipping system was down, so he sent it via USPS. I have asked him to send me another adapter to make up for the shipping. Still waiting to hear back. He has been very responsive though. There are probably other sites out there with the same adapter, (I only found one other but I didn't like the shape)

Anyway just sharing, take it or leave it :)

oh well, not that interesting if it doest go to host automatically. I have a home made adapter that does, but i'd sure love to have one spare

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

I got mine from www.yourcablestore.com for $5.95 USD shipped to Canada. I think I used their ebay storefront though, and not their website to get it. Excellent experience, and they gave me a $1.00 coupon to apply to my next order. Any takers on the coupon code? I doubt I'll need to get another one anytime soon.

EDIT - Taking a line from Mara, I too am not affiliated in anyway with the store I am recommending for the USB adapter. Just relating my experience using them, and I have this discount code I won't use - so just tying to help out someone else!

I sent another mail to PC mobile asking wheter or not the Zen Vision M usb host cable is an min iA or a mini B (http://www.pc-mobile.net/cmuh1.jpg). If it's A, it should be what we need, even if it needs modifying.
