I'm hoping that someone finally manages to fully enable the usb host functionality in the n800, so you can plug an usb keyboard.


Whether it's a "usb to bluetooth" or "enable usb host mode on the n800" either way I'd be happy. I bought a Dreamgear "Mini key" thumb keypad (intended for use with playstation 2, but it's actual usb) ... wouldn't mind being able to use it as a tiny keyboard for my n800.

(I don't have the url handy, but I'm pretty sure the main site is dreamgear.com ... target has them on sale, on-line, for $20)

Just picked up one of these; I ran it through the USB adapter I got on another thread, and although the N800 insiststhat it is an "unrecognised USB device, the keyboard actually works. I got it for just under $20 including shipping.
