Well, you can have PANs, albeit it'll tax some overhead in speed and power drain.

Re: N900 Specifications

Blame the European commission, friends of the earth, green peace etc, for pushing for a standard in charging, all the big players signed up for it, in the future there will be just one standard charger for all devices no matter the manufacturer, now we have been set back lets vote no to the EU :)
I hope nokia find a solution in the future to make it happen in any upcoming devices.
On the bright side in 2010 we wont need 10 different chargers for all the different gadgets we intend to buy.

I'll stick to ext3, thanks.

It would be interesting to keep an eye on btrfs, that supposedly has an option "optimised" for flash devices - what ever the hell that means (in terms of real world performance) I don't really know.

Not exactly up to date or reliable info but

interesting nevertheless

Well, I don't think people ever wanted "charging over USB" functionality at the expense of OTG though.

I would disagree, I desperately need charging over USB.
Especially if I'm using the N900 as much as I think I will, with USB charging it means I can charge my device almost anywhere.

Yeah, but nobody forced the manufacturers to say "Hey, let's use USB for that!". :)

Which, in my humble opinion, is the lamest thing they could ever decide. But we get what we deserve...

I don't think that has to do much with wear. On eMMC devices, there are so many layers between you and the actual device it's quite pointless to 'try' to do wear leveling yourself. That said, filesystems COULD be more flash friendly by taking into account flash block sizes, no head seek time, etc.

Re: N900 Specifications

Possibly a very foolish question BUT who's 3g network will the euro version of the n900 run on if you were to bring it to the US?
