Sorry if I am stating the obvious but I am not familiar with all of these modern technologies... (ex mainframe sysprog & electronic engineer during the '80's )
The planned micro-AB USB receptacle can take the micro-B plugs as used with N900, as well as micro-A plugs used for OTG on mode-A "USB hosts". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usb#Mi...cro_connectors, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usb#Ho...ce_receptacles

So no, you don't need any new charger or whatever, you can use all your N900 accessories, plus some new ones with micro-A plug for easy USB hostmode, plus presumably all the chargers that don't adhere to "Nokia's" fatcharger spec (shorted D+/- pins) since we will probably use a much smarter charging circuit than found in N900.
