I have a 20GB pocket HD I'd just love to hook up to the 770... and even if that didn't work, I'd figure out something else.
I understand protecting users from themselves by making the "root" thing a bit difficult, but I agree the "USB host" ought to be more accessible. Dunno if technically such a machine can "flash itself", though. My iRiver mp3 player does just that, so it's possible...

Nice, that you found that PS2 KB. I saw it at J&R and mentioned it in my "blog" w/o knowing anyone else had seen it (I'm late catching up on threads!).
You should see the KeySonic nano keyboard (ACK 3400U) - it's SO cute. About as thick as the 770 (without cover), barely taller, and some 50% wider. Short of the foldable BT stuff it's probably the best match you can think of - right down to the matte black finish. And it's a *real* keyboad, albeit petite - not something you'd want to write "War and Peace" on, but definitely beats anything on a PDA, past and future :-)
