If you find a good price for them online, post it here :-)

Here you go: http://www.lindy.com/us/catalog/14/12/02d/index.php
For other countries, go to www.lindy.com.
Are we sure the mini-A will plug into the N800?
Unfortunately, I'm in Trinidad and no-one delivers here.

I guess it depends on what drivers are available for OTG in OS2008.
I would hope that a driver to mount an external disk would be one of the obvious ones.
I'm going to get me an OTG USB cable so i am ready for the arrival of OS2008.
Pros:
1) Great for sharing info with other devices
2) Faster (in theory) than bluetooth
3) Readily available now
4) Tremendous storage potential.
Cons:
1) Not as convenient as bluetooth
2) Not nearly as convenient as internal memory
3) One extra device to carry around
If bluetooth drives are available, I'll likely choose this over the USB OTG. However, if they are too costly, then USB OTG will be my mass storage/backup/portable choice.

Yeah, on the bluetooth HD front, I'm still waiting to hear about availability of the Seagate DAVE and the Agere BluOnyx. Hopefully soon for both.

Me too.
I hope that these drives are solid state *and* know how to go to sleep to conserve battery life.
Convenience is the name of the game.

Since an iPod can function as a self-powered USB HDD formatted with FAT32, can it be used as an OTG storage device with the Nokia N800 and N810? This could make a N800 + iPod a great combination for archiving pictures from SD card while on the go. Also, if an app on the N8x0 could parse the iPod's bizarre native file structure, the N8x0 could be used as a bigger screen/speakers to watch MPEG4/H.264 videos that are stored on the iPod.

I googled a bit and cannot find anyone selling Micro-A cables or adapters. This may be because the Micro-USB standard is quite recent, and the N810 is likely the first device to offer host mode using said standard.
