Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 

I got a mobidapter and I tried it in my N810 and it didn't work with any of my usb thumbdrives but it did work when I plugged in my psp which provides its own power. So it is a power issue. I also tried the mobidapter in my imate smartphone (which I believe has SDIO support) and it did work for some of the thumb drives.

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 

i read this thread and see different thing , usb host mode can't be enable due to an hardware limitation and other way that is a software problem.

i have an archos with usb host enable and with extenal HDD i must use an external alimentation +5v , so does anybody has try to plug not an usb thumbs but an extenal HDD or SDcard reader (with external power) on the N900 and check if usb mode is enable ??

or is there a external way ? have a bluetooth-To-Usbhost adapter ?

Lack of usb host mode has been confirmed by at least one nokia employee to be a hardware issue. No amount of software is going to rewire the pins the way they should be
The older tablets did have usb on the go, and with them the only issue was getting enough juice to power the accessory (via powered hub). But now, there is no usb-otg support, so using an additional power supply won't help
Hope that clears it

oh yes :(
it's too bad ... i was regarding this feature to buy this N900 due a lot of use of DSLR camera

Yeah it sucks. I, for one, am REALLY disappointed that no amount of software tinkering will get this done. Nokia wanted to market the n900 as a mobile computer and not JUST a smartphone? Fail.

I imagine we could use something like this:: http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=184658 in the microsd slot - but would have to use it with the back off - and would have to hack it to extend the "micro-sd"card/plug thing with a flexible cable.

I imagine this would only work for mass-storage devices.
