The internal card connector position is shown here:

What I could imagine working is if you jury-rigged a ribbon cable connector from the Mobidapter that could then be fed into the n900 internal connector. Still would look pretty Frankenstein-ish, though.

The idea of a BT to USB adapter, if one exists, sounds much better.
Carrying a bag of adapters kinda defeats both the purpose of mobile computing and the original ideea that separate charging and usb ports mean more cables

Just had a thought. There's a compact USB to BT adapter that most of us already have: our current NITs.

If this issue is the only thing keeping you from leaving the laptop at the office, then I suggest throwing your n8x0 and your OTG adapter in your briefcase for just such situations.

Make sure your Maemo devices are already paired and copy the data over BT.

Someone needs to write a Diablo app for this purpose!

sshfs is your friend?

Though I'd LOVE to bring less stuff with me and still be ready for anything

Will the N900 (hardware and software) support using it as a 3G modem for a laptop, tethering to the laptop by USB? by WiFi? by bluetooth? USB and/or WiFi is prefered over bluetooth since they support higher bandwidth and (perhaps) lower latency. (I tether my v9m to my laptop over USB and bluetooth and get 3G. I'd like to replace it with an N900.)

As long as we're considering solutions that require an extra device, this device can do file transfers between two USB mass storage devices: http://reviews.cnet.com/hubs/sima-hi...-31997849.html

The article is from 2006 so there may be newer, smaller versions out by now.

That sounds painfully slow if you want to copy more than one or two word documents.

Quite expensive - Qole's suggestion is cheaper

Huge file transfers over bluetooth can be slower! Also, that device may not be even cheap! But again, I may take that as a solution, though not happily!
