This is where Shepherd will be useful! When you plug a USB device into your NIT, Shepherd will notice and can ask if you want to start the ad-hoc wifi network. Then, on the N900, when you connect to the adhoc network, Shepherd can ask if you want to mount the USB devices from the tablet on your N900, and open the file manager for you.

If you don't have an N8x0, you should go and get one. They're pretty cheap right now, and they do a lot of the stuff that the N900 can do. The N800 has two full size SD slots, and a mini USB connector (as opposed to the micro USB connector), not to mention it is probably cheaper on eBay, so it might be better to use as your WiFi USB Host.

Physical problem with N900 SD slot.

What is the performance?

Will it work with > 32GB storage?

IIRC, that device was brought up previously, the problem being that the micro-SD portion of the adapter wouldn't fit in the recessed microSD port under the back-panel.

I like the constructive ideas though! One person already found a solution to using serial ports via bluetooth. It seems like the problems we have remaining are:

USB Mass storage devices
Other USB peripherals

@bocaJ: Doesn't the N900 have a microSD port in one of the sides? From the specifications it says there are two microSD expansion slots, one internal upto 32Gb and another one external upto 16Gb. From the 3D model in http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/360/ the external slot doesn't seem to have problems for this device to connect.

@Matan: From the producer specifications page it seems 32Gb is the limit, as it is the limit for the SDHC host. Anyway I imagine the N900 external microSD slot would limit this to 16Gb.

I think there's only one MicroSD slot. The 32GB are built-in. And 16 GB is the maximum currently available for MicroSD, so it's advertised as a slot for 16 GB.

I truly hope that Nokia will fix whatever the "several HW bugs" exist and plan for a model that will support USB OTG. This device without USB support to me is simply a high performance phone, not a "high performance mobile computer" as advertised.

The question still remains .. would it be at all possible to provide USB peripheral support with some sort of software and hardware hack? I've yet to see this question definitively answered.
