I was wondering what the usb support for the N800 was. Can the N800 be connected to an external hardrive, keyboard, gamepad, etc.

I posted about a great solution for this problem a few weeks back, not sure if anyone saw it...
http://www.gethitch.com
It's called a Hitch by Sima, and it is basically a powered USB-To-Go bridge that works with *any* two USB mass storage devices, including direct iPod-to-iPod song transfer. I have been using mine with great success with a combination of external hard drives, thumb drives, iPods, card readers, and my 770 and other handheld devices.
Works great with the N800 also...too bad the N800 won't charge via USB, because the Hitch will charge devices thru *both* of its USB ports at the same time, since it has it's own rechargeable Li-ion battery...
Cool little accessory, not the fastest thing around, but it does the job and bridges the incompatibility gap between most devices...

I can confirm that there is no host-mode support on the n800. Enabling it with the flasher does nothing (remains in slave mode) and there's no /proc entry like the 770 has. Lame. That was one of the 770's nicer hacking features and I had a blob consisting of a USB hub (wired to feed power back to the 770), hardwired to a 10/100 network adapter and USB SD adapter. Hooking it to a USB keyboard or 30GB hard drive was also fun.

Are we missing the actual hardware or just the Kernel support? Can anyone confirm. If the support is not in the kernel, then you would not have the proc entries correct? So even enabling it would do nothing witout the kernel support when running.
