pretty cool

I don't have a USB drive to test it though

I love all the little tricks people are able to do on the N8x0's

Neat hack, but what sort of practical use ? :-)

How about using USB DVD-ROM and watch DVD on N8x0?

Oh come on!

DVD on the tablet ? It can't be that powerful, can it ?

I would actually use it to burn files on a CD/DVD, but I have a PC for that (and the tablet as a USB drive).. on the move it can be useful some times...

I am working on a cdburning app, as this would make backups nice and easy. As for the DVD movies?? Not sure, I will try to play unencrypted DVD when I get home. Seems like it should work, I'm not thinking encrypted DVD's have a chance in hell.

I keep all my music and pictures on DVD, which now makes copying to n800 a little faster.

DVD playback has no chance. (Although I admit I always like to be stunned when technology exceeds expectations)

Well, yes faster for me. But your scenario is not really applying to me, because I can not do that.

When I can plugin my n800 into a DVD and copy away.

I have a IBM Tablet PC (Dual boot windows and linux) also which accepts the SD card, and I have a USB DVD burner that I could plugin. (same one I use with n800)

Here are some of my problems though:

Ubuntu 6.1xx has the same SD corruption bug that was fixed by kernel patch on 2007 OS. If I try to copy large amounts of data, it corrupts the card. ( Is this fixed in 7.1) maybe I should upgrade

Additionally I am booting from SD and do not like to USB transfer, I have had problems in the past, with rebooting

I have read access to my ext2 partitions under windows, but no write access. So often I would transfer using SCP over the network, the encryption slows the data transfer down.

In short: YES its faster (For Me)
