My question is I know the N900 doesn't supply power in its USB connection, so since this drive doesn't need power from the USB, can I get it to work with the N900?

I am a photographer that works on the road. With this I could send files from anywhere in the world that has cell coverage without the need for bringing a laptop. This would be HUGE. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Use a camera that uses SD cards. Buy a micro-SD card with an SD adapter. Put the microSD with adapter into the camera, take lots of pictures. Take the microSD out of the camera, put it into the N900. Send the pictures over the Internet.
