For all those looking for auto-switching USB on the N800; how much interest is there in being able to purchase a "professionally modified" N800 to Female USB cable? I described my process previously about bending up the metal casing, adding a touch of solder, and heat-shrinking a USB gender-changer to make a nice clean auto-switching cable on a budget, but I know there were a few responses saying things along the lines of "'Easy' is relative if you don't have a soldering iron". If there's interest I'd be happy to mod up some of these cables and put 'em up for sale on my company's e-store for relatively cheap (a few bucks more than the cost of the cable itself and adapter). I'd also consider just splicing some cables together instead of using the gender changer, but I think in the end the gender changer with heat-shrink actually makes for a cleaner cable with better connections (since there aren't any wires that actually ahve to be spliced... those USB wires are tiny after all!).
We're based in Canada so anything beyond North American shipping costs might be a bit silly for just a cable, but I'd have to look into it.

Anyways, Yays or Nays?
