On the other hand the second SD card using the chip-set I have identified seems to connect every time. I am working on this now. Also with the second SD card it can be removable. The only thing is they depend on the USBCONTROL software. This allow the second card to be turned off the save power.
craves1, well presented, clear and superbly illustrated order page!
No one should have problems or be dissapointed after reading through. Keep up the good work. I'm eagerly awaiting the full kit.
I wonder when we will see the 64gb SD cards.
BTW, since usb drives are less than SD cards, how about finding a way to install the guts of a 64gb flash drive inside the N810?
The use of a thumb drive would be nice since they draw less power than a second SD card, about 10 to 12ma less
OR maybe I will just offer both?
This is a expensive overall project so how much further I go will depend on how many I sell.
Thanks

Would I be correct when saying the USB port under the cover is the one available with the external cable? That would impact the use of the USB cable for transfer and other use.

craves1, would purchasing the current sdhc adapter allow for easily upgrading to your proposed internal usb thumbdrive or secondary sdhc card slot? i just purchased my n810 and your research and development and final product are just superb and I planned on purchasing this without hesitation; however, with your recent discovery that you just mentioned, i just wanted to be sure that purchasing your current adapter isn't a stopgap for a newer adapter, i.e., would have to buy both.
thanks, regardless, i'll most likely just purchase your current adapter, but wanted to hear your thoughts anyway.

I am working on several products and the first one will be ready soon. Will they all be compatible? I hope so but thing are changing in the designs currently and there are no guarantees that they will work together. There will be at least 4 versions of what I am calling cover add-ons. They will be as simple as storage for additional SD cards, a LED flash light and as complex as a tilt sensor, ir receiver, second SD card, or flash drive and more. I plan to poll to see what devices work with the tablet’s USB port that is thin enough to be built into the cover
But you should understand that how much I sell of the current design will determined if I mass produce any other devices. The current solution with the metal cover is the main focus right now and when it is finished and if I do not get a good response I may move to my next project which may not be the N810.
Either way I am prototyping the Second SD card design over the weekend but it will take about 2 more weeks before I have the completed design and know how well it works and how easy it is to install. It will also be determined by my ability to make a safe connector for the internal USB contacts.
Also I will offer upgrade discounts if we get that far.
Keep checking the site and in the coming weeks you will see some devices with my help and the community's help that will make the N810 the one device I (you) crave the most.
PS: I haven't forgotten about the N800

Hey are you still thinking of some kind of Gaming Control Addon we talked about that one day didn't know if you still working on it.

Cravesone,
Thanks much for the response. After I wrote my post, I realized that, exactly what you said, no matter what you end up doing, it pretty much all depends on the sales of the current sdhc adapter. So I went ahead and purchased one last night. I meant to check to see what form of shipping you used. Hopefully if it's USPS there is a chance I could get it this weekend eh? Just in time for the arrival of my n810. Anyway, looking forward to more of your awesome addons.
P.S., the thin metal cover you mention as coming soon on your website, will that be available separately from the kit? I ask because I haven't gotten a mugen extended battery yet, I was going to cut up the original n810 one and extend it by that small amount with some fiberglass/filler and source some paint to match the stipple pattern and color.

Also do not cut the metal cover that came with the N810. The metal covers will be available sometime next week.
The cover will be able to be purchased with or without the adapter kit. This way if any one want to make their own project or need a replacement it will be easier to do.
