BruceL: I really don't care about your use cases, or whether or not you buy the N900. Seriously. There's no emotional issues there at all. You do what you feel is right for you.

I just have come to terms with the fact that the N900 will not have USB host mode, at least not out-of-the-box from Nokia. Maybe some future device will have it, but that isn't what this thread is about, and telling everyone that you aren't going to buy the N900 just isn't useful here.

I'm a long-time USB host-mode user on the tablets. I find it very useful. I'd like to see some of this functionality on the N900 too.

I'm just really bored with the complaining. Why don't we all start trying to see what we can do to fix things, instead?

But as JayOnThaBeat pointed out, this isn't do.maemo.org, it is talk.maemo.org.

So carry on.
