All previous NITs had this feature. USB support missing on the n900 would be a huge letdown.
Holy S**t, please don't tell me I can't attach a self powered external HD (or ANY other self powered USB device) to the N900, it was really something I was looking to...
reading the link posted by qgil I didn't get if the problem is with the power of the device of incompatibility between USB hardware and the USB consortium rules... in this last case, wouldn't there have been the same problems with the previous internet tablets??

or is the "support" word being used as "officially supported" by Nokia, not providing the Host mode out of the box?


One totally different thing:
the N900 has a IR port; I have a Nokia 6630 since some years, and I *never* felt the need in a IR port having it bluetooth; what should I use a IR port for? anybody can illustrate me some uses for this? thanks in advance.
(hey, not complaining for a extra feature in this case, just curious )
