Hi Peter
To clarify something: the previous tablets (770, N800, N810) had USB OTG, so they could switch between being a host and being a peripheral.
The n900, unfortunately doesn't, but this is due to hardware. There is a very long thread about it here (as thecursedfly pointed out).
However, neopwn recently made this post regarding the possibility of creating an external usb hub that may work with the n900.
It's not that anyone has a problem with you asking about it, just that it's been (and still being) discussed to death in that other thread.

I did this thing called "research" on this networking-thing called "The Internet".
I knew about the USB limitation before I bought it. I read these things called "web pages" and "threads".
I like these "threads" because people can communicate with each other - I strongly suggest talk.maemo.org.
So I educated myself about the n900 before I bought it - that's why I am happy with it. It's not perfect but it is the closest thing to a portable Linux device and has the ability to make phone calls.
BTW you have spelt already wrong
You know what I mean - somebody will post a genuinely insightful post that actually makes you think or raises an important point. Maybe change your point-of-view.
You read the post, oblivious to the intelligence of the content and instead point out spelling mistakes of the poster.

This is more something with the openness of the hardware/baseband of the N900 than whether it is Linux or not.
Linux is most definitely running on the N900 but it can only see what is presented to it by the baseband, much like it can only see what is presented to it by the BIOS on a regular computer.
