I wonder about this from time to time as well. I thought it was one of the official features at one point, but sadly no, the N900 and N9 were shafted by Nokia in this way. I think the earlier NITs had it though, right?

USB on N900 is two steps backward. No easy host mode and micro USB connector is inferior to mini USB connector without really saving space.

I only have my Bluetooth Keyboard and my PS3 controller. Other than that, all the other devices I use, have the Micro, which kind of makes it nice that I have a lot of cables because of it.

In case You're wondering, I'm *not* talking about H-E-N (which is great project itself), but latest implementation of userland bits by Pali, that set speed automatically, etc.

Since you seem to know already where to find the Pali latest implementation, can you point TMO users to a link ?

looks like there was heavy interest, but like you said no one has been talking about it since July.
