After seeing USB OTG on the N8, I was thinking ” why has it not yet made available for the N900? ” *bang* they made it available.. and one super dude ran movies off DVDs from a DVD drive connected via usb.
And now, some dude has connected a modem to the N900 (via ethernet cable to usb setup) and surfed the interwebz with it.Well, they say , with android, the possibilities are endless, i say replace that friggin android with maemo/meego which offers a full linux experience.. literally a mobile computer is what you get !
