This makes my "N8x0 as USB server" even more attractive to me. If someone can get the usbip server working on the N8x0 tablets and the client working on the N900, the n8x0 could easily share usb ports over wifi with the n900...

I know... N8x0 is a big bulky extra thing to lug around... and not super-cheap, either... but still way smaller than a laptop, and with that big bright screen it has lots of other uses besides USB host.
