can I get data off card reader through n800 usb?

[albini]

Hello all.

I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for searching the archives, so now it's time to post to the forum.

My digital camera uses CF cards. When I'm on the road and want to get images off the CF card and onto my IT, can I just hook up a card reader to my N800 (running OS2008) via the usb port? I seem to remember something about how the usb on the N800 could only go out from the IT and not in. Am I wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Nick.

Yes, you can but you have to put your IT in the USB host mode.
