EDIT: When I read some internal release notes documents describing the USB operation in OS2008, I get this understanding that the role switching should work automagically... please try it?

I got my wireless USB keyboard working but it dropped a lot of characters until I added 5v from 4AA batteries. My mouse that is connected to the same reciver wrote different characters like qweui, mabye it writing qwertyui in that order. Is would it now be possible to change the language of the keyboard so that special characters works...
Would it be possible t oconnect more than one device with a USB hub...

I get "USB hub not supported" and "Unable to connect. Device not supported." error messages, but everything works.

Wow, been waiting for this a log time. I get the errormessages to. I've now connected to my H320 hd mp3 player and are playing mp3's from it on the tablet. When the clock apps alarm on the tablet came up it made the media player to stop playing and aftervards the sound sounds awful seemes like it boosted the volume and it won't help turning it down in the volume control.. but restarting it solved it.

Longer answer: I have a powered hub with a power indicator light. It worked with power. WHen I disconnected the power and connected the N800, the power light went on. The hub worked also without power.

Yes, that's how it should work. Can't wait to get an adaptor and start using thumb-drive with N800.
Let's see -- what other USB devices do/might/should work?
- Mass storage - works
- HID - keyboards work, mice have same troubles as BT mice
- CD/DVDs - has no drivers
- Network adapters (Will power be an issue for some of these?)
- Ethernet - Helpful, but do they work?
- 802.11b/g - Redundant, probably less range
- 802.11a,n - Could be helpful, do they work?
- BT - Redundant, unless you need longer range... Then power draw probably kills you.
- Serial adapters (including USB interface on HP49G+) - Probably no drivers?
- Audio (USB speakers) - Not persuaded of utility, but might work. Probably no drivers?
Could people who have this working try any of those devices they have laying about and see if they work?
Since we're running a modular kernel, drivers should be simple to add for, e.g., usb-serial, or various network adapters. More complications arise in pursuit of, say, DVD burning, requiring a variety of drivers and userland tools.

I wish if I can use my LAPTOP USB GPS receiver with N800 :-)
Thanks, Mara!
EDIT: Initially, I thought the adapter I have was wired correctly to allow automatic switching between host and gadget modes. However, that switch is not happening consistently. Nuts.
