TTgowings, either of the cables/adapter combinations that you talk about would require that you use one of the manual switching options. The Wiki that I refer to is the Wiki here at ITT, specifically the N800 host mode entry:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/wi..._using_OS_2008
The wiki entry there describes your options for manually enabling and disabling host mode; I'm not sure about any USB option built into the latest build of UKMP, but I haven't used UKMP in a while...

Also correct, the difference between the one I'm offering and the ones you can find elsewhere (Amazon,etc) is that I've mod'ed them to have the correct pins shorted, so when you connect it the N800 automatically switches into host mode (and when you disconnect it goes back into device mode).

I'm not quite sure about that statement. I mean from a portability point of view I think having any connector plugged into the tablet while you carry it around is going to generally in the same boat (i.e. if you have a dongle and drop the tablet or something, the end of the dongle that's plugged into the N800 is still going to have the same problem as if it was the adapter itself). Also, the adapter connection is tight enough that it supports itself and the weight of something like a USB thumb drive, but if you were to hit it accidentally either the adapter will shift only ever so slightly (and still work without loosing connection) or it will pop out of the N800; it depends on how hard you hit it and from what angle. Part of the test that I do for each of them before sending them out is to make sure that they don't loose connectivity if you forcably "Wiggle" them slightly, but that they are not so tight as to rip your N800 is half in order to disconnect!

Anyways, I'm still persuing the dongle angle with the general idea of people wanting to have a bit of flexible cable in order to do things like mount a USB drive to the back of the tablet, etc...

Thanks!
