The original N800 OTG adapter was far more popular than I'd ever imagined but it wasn't ideal; the biggest concerns that I heard in the forums were about the physical akwardness of having to have your USB device sticking way out the side of the tablet, and of concerns about how much stress that put on the connector itself and how it reduced the mobility factor when using USB devices (you really can't carry around a tablet with a thumb drive sticking off an OTG adapter... it's just not practical). This led to discussions about short OTG dongles, with the main argument being that they could be used to place USB devices in the fabled "behind the tablet" position, but it still required a length of cable to be used, and meant carrying it around was more of a pain. This, so far, is the best of both worlds: The new N800 360 OTG adapter:

Unlike the original adapters these have been custom manufacturered, not modified, and so have the OTG short internally. The stucture of the adapter is designed to allow you to place your USB device in any position, either beside the tablet, or even behind it tucked away nicely! (See my "Action shots" below).

The obvious question of the kickstand comes in, and if you'd like to be able to have your USB device attached and tucked away without having the kickstand out then all that's required is a small Torx T5 screw driver to undo the two screws that hold the kick stand to the tablet. In the next day or two I'll also be offering these for a few dollars for anyone who's interested and doesn't know of a local source.

Finally and most importantly of all, this adapter finally brings the ability to connect and leave connected while carrying various USB devices... a bit of velcro on the back perhaps to keep your favourite thumb drive in place as you walk around, or maybe even, say, a Phidgets USB Accelerometer? ;-) heck, even a small USB hub if you're really in the mood for it!

Adapters are $11 Canadian. Shipping costs are the same as before ($11 international, $9 US, $5 US if you're not worried about time for delivery, and $4 within Canada).

These can also be used in combination with the short Micro-Mini USB converter cables to allow OTG functionality on the N810:
