There is usb port on the back connector. It is usb 1.1 similar in function to nokia 770 (i.e. it can do both client and host but you need to provide power), there is also i2c and camera interface there. The connector is

* Docking connector P.N. on Z2 Mainboard:
o ST60-36P

* Docking Connector Mate P.N. (PCB Mount)
o ST60X-36S

* Docking Connector Mate P.N. (Cable Mount)
o ST40X-36S-CV(80)

sold by Digikey. Anyone would buy couple of them for me and send it via first class mail international? Digikey has insanely expensive international shipping.

I have bought recently two zipit2s on ebay. It is quite cool device but certainly limited in RAM. Wifi is great and the CPU can run at 416MHz. For the price it is disposable. I plan to use it for my small kids as learning/gaming/communicator tool. Too bad gcompris needs mouse. Anyone knows about some linux educational software for small kids (teaching spelling, numbers etc)?

Could be also good as a remote for driving wi-fi enabled robot or something.
