That's puzzling to me!

If you don't currently have a tablet, what mobile device are you currently using that does have USB host mode? And what do you use it for?

I have a laptop and a Nokia 6630. To have a N900 with that feature could make me leave these both home. I'm a student at university, and allready posted in the past pages what I would use it for.
If I didn't have such a great unified device so far doesn't mean I cannot look forward to own finally one..

i did not say "pretend"; i said "have the right to expect", meaning that I can have the right to look for a device with that possibility, if I think the money I would pay is enough for that.

as if those were the only use cases we discussed about so far...

there are only 30 pages about it in this thread.. and maybe people didn't request it because it was believed to be there... (unofficial, but as long as it works, people don't have a reason to complain)
