At this point the reason that there's no full sized USB to MicroUSB is that microUSB is EXTREMELY difficult to locate, let alone use in custom fabrication work. Mini USB has been around for quite a while now, while MicroUSB is really only, what, a few months old in terms of actual production, and close to a year or so in terms of "general announcements"; as time goes on it should become easier to locate such a cable/adapter, but in the meantime we have to improvise.

I've also got the Mini/Micro adapter available on the site with the N800 OTGs incase you want to consolidate shipping costs/etc (and there are a growing number of other neat N8X0 accessories of course):

(Edit: Photos of the spider cable opened... top and bottom... there are just two screws under the label that keep it closed. No 5 wires for the mini B and no idea about adding an external power source, but at least it gives you some ideas as to what's inside there)
I'll also look into the other bits and pieces that you had listed there; I'm setting up a partnership for distribution of Solio Solar/Lith-ion chargers, which in my opinion are awesome for use with the tablets (others have also reported) so that's what I'm leaning towards for an extra battery/power injector solution. The nice thing about the Solios is that they have interchangable tips (comes with the one for the tablets btw) so you can use it to power either the tablet itself as a secondary source or whatever I come up with as a power injector...
Oh, and on the otg dongle front... those little buggers would end up being about $14; (and that's based on my volume pricing!), so if there's interest at that price point I'll go ahead and do 'em, but I'm looking for feedback on whether it's worth it or not.
Thanks,
-Rob
