Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 
Yup, that's one way to solve that problem, but inelegant. I already have a wallet full of class 6 SDHCs that would cost $$ to replace in micro format. Plus, the micro+reader is inherently less reliable from a shock/vibration aspect. I have occasional problems with micro->full SD adapters when they're on my desk...can't imagine they fare any better when subjected to constant movement.

I really want to like the N900. But convergence for me may have to wait until the next model. Would love to get this side by side with an iPod touch as well. Looks like the same screen size, but the resolution is so much higher!

Thats true, but as micro-USB is mandatory for loading, it would make no sense to add another USB port just for allowing host mode.
I interpret that as "USB will allow host mode over micro-USB", but thats just interpretation.

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 
If anyone has an idea about both this questions :

- Will Wifi integrated card allow promiscuous mode (... to use with Wireshark)
- What could be the best way to connect a ethernet adapter (and please don't say : buy a AP and connect is to network, because AP could filter packets regarding to MAC addresses...)

There is no way to connect an ethernet adapter. Why would you want to connect a cellular phone to an ethernet network?

I'm not yannj but for me this would be useful for network admin stuff, e.g. testing Ethernet sockets or switches. I use a netbook for now, but an N900 would be even smaller/lighter, which is good when climbing up ladders.

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 
Accessing a cabled ethernet network is an important thing when working in network. That sometimes not possible to take with you a laptop.
Moreover, I would like to use N900 to probe a network for capture during several hours and get the device back for analysis..
This could be another use for this device... which is more than a internet communicator I guess

A netbook?

You'd leave your N900 alone for several hours? Might as well connect sth like SheevaPlug.

So you want a mobile computer, not a cellular phone.

yes, and it's been mentioned here a few times already - nokia itself claims n900 is a (mobile) computer in advertisments... (without usb, a kinda' limited one...)
