This thread should be added a prefix: Incredibly silly because after a few pages it does get there quickly.

I'm buying this for completly other reasons than having USB-OTG etc.

That said:

"Living in the past because no WiFi(or don't want it)" - a) unsecure b) tedious to setup c) unable to debug Air[TM] ERROR d) unreliable

"Using Serial<>BT" - I find this an excelent idea. Makes it easy to not need crawling around etc. The one downside I see is: farraday cages - a lot of those racks are more or less near such so it would be rather difficult I think to get through.

"Alternative to flash dongles" - a flash dongle that uses a microsd is what I would have expected the usb dongles to be from the start. Sadly none of the manufacturers bothered with it. I tend to have with me atleast 2 microsd cards with adapters for minisd and plain sd and a smallish microsd or plain sd card reader. The problem is when someone just wants for you to copy things from their key to whatever device. I would make it clear I expect only such and such format(considering what mail I autoreject just due to attachments this wouldn't be much of a prob for me). Not to mention all the possible filesystems etc. I don't carry around anything FAT formated.

So yes might suck, might be hackable but the main reason I want this device is:
It's a portable device I can use as a dumb terminal and has a phone bolted on.

I'm not a heavy phone user so the first bit is for me the big deal.
