Bunch of Questions/Ideas
 
First the ideas:
1. Can you get a microusb to usb converter (already ordered on the way :)), and connect a Usb Flash drive to it, and access it from the device?
2. Could u also connect for example, a speed stick for mobile internet and access that from the n810 as well?

Questions:
1. where the hell is the advanced battery app? I had it and then it disappeared from the repo's after i switched to boot from mmc
2. Whats the best browser for flash support? Flash support on microb is decent but really lag on most sites

Thanks :)

1) Yes
2) Maybe, if there are open source linux drivers.

3)It should be in the extras repo. You probably accidentally disabled it when you switched to mmc boot. Check again. Or you can try to google for the install link.

4)All flash is the same. I think Microb is the best.

I bought one from some generic Chinese vendor on eBay. I don't use it often, but it's always worked as advertised. I have an 8G thumb drive plugged into it right now.

$8 (including shipping!) from Hong Kong to the USA ain't too shabby!

If the link doesn't work just search for "n810 usb otg". "OTG" is "On-The-Go", which is a USB standard for devices like the Maemo which can operate as either a USB host or peripheral. The OTG cable signals the tablet to go into host mode without you needing to manually configure it in software.
