Hey guys,

I am a fairly new member here and I don't think I've actually posted here before, but I often read a lot.

I have been using the N810 for a few months now and it is quite perfect for the things I use it for. I discovered the N810 late in the game, so fortunately, there were already nice apps and scripts developed by others to accomplish the things I needed.

I have developed a hand held SIGINT system (I am a government contractor) that uses the N810 as the user interface to the system. The main N810 features/apps I make use of are Jalimo for the Java GUI and the ability to connect the N810 to the tuner/signal processing unit of the system via USB used as gadget Ethernet (micro A on the N810 side, mini B on the other end). Then, the back end of the GUI just sends and receives TCP/IP to and from the other device who has some C programs listening on the appropriate ports. This setup only works if the the N810 is the host device so I can set the usb0 IP address accordingly, which can't be set if I were using a USB mico B cable.

So, I was hoping that the N900 would also "support" USB OTG the same way the N810 does so my company can continue to make this hand held system. I understand that most consumers would not have a need for USB OTG, but this is a case where it was needed and there was no other option with this set of hardware. I have no problem continuing to use the N810, but I don't think they are making them anymore. It was rather difficult to acquire the sqrt(225) we recently purchased.

If I can't use the N900 the same way I have been using the N810, I would need a device that supports the use of Java and USB OTG in a similar form factor/design to the N810 that has a touch screen and doesn't have a clam shell/laptop design...any ideas?

Where exactly does it say that the N900 will not have or cannot support (due to hardware) USB OTG?

Thanks much :-)
