Hello all, I'm new on these forums, very attracted by the N900.
Reading specs, info and stuff about the previous Maemo devices one of the things that made me "WOW" was the possibility to use the "host mode" to access USB memories, external drives (was thinking about my 1 TB external harddrive, yummi), and pretty much anything else with self alimentation that can be recognized by this linux "distro", just having the right cable, adapter, and piece of software.

Are you saying it won't be possible? is it a hardware limitation, a software block/lack we'll probably see fixed by the community later or something else? (or maybe we simply cannot know yet)

I really hope it will be possible; it's too cool.
