What I do is provide alternative solutions for the harsh reality: no USB host mode in N900. If you want some other device which has it fine go buy that.

i don't own BT keyb and mouse, and buying those costs, even mose since you need batteries. I once had a BT mouse, but got tired of the batteries problems and switched back to a 'eternal' USB mouse.

My SU-8W is portable and can do like 50 hours with its batteries. Also, I don't need it often, because my Nokia N810 had, my Nokia E71 has, and my Nokia N900 will have a good hardware keyboard. Maybe there are models which have a rechargable battery? And, when was 'once'?

i don't want a wifi router since i allready have a well working ethernet one

Well, you're living in the past, most people have some kind of WiFi WLAN nowadays. Maybe you can stick a USB WiFi stick into it and make it work even better, so you can use your N8x0 or N900 wireless. Then it is also more mobile...

a cable has lesser lag/errors problems and uses the available speed more efficiently

Yeah, and a cable has to be attached all the time. You want tons of cables and things sticking on and around your mobile device? Well, I don't. The relevance for N900 is questionable.

it might seem crazy, since we're bombarded continuously with every kind of radiations

For most people this seems crazy and is indeed of no concern. N900 also comes with 3G and GPS btw.

and the usb sd adapter isn't usable with the N900 (see where the sd slot is).

Point taken. Other people could use a USB flash drive with SD card in it though. Or e-mail the data.

my digital camera uses SD cards, not microSD.

SD <-> microSD converter.

EyeFi is a product more I should buy, and it's not really cheap.

Agreed, it isn't cheap. Comfort comes with a price. For those who do professional photography (for which N900 on-board camera is obviously not good enough) it might be a good addon option.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, as I allready posted here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=89

Thats about a hub with 4 USB2 connectors and provides Wireless USB.

try to find one in any shop online and post a link, thanks.

http://usb.brando.com/55-in-1-blueto...0c036d015.html this one? It even supports all those card formats you were always afraid for you would one day maybe need to support it via an adapter

Why is a simple USB hub + a BlueTooth dongle not suffice?
