Hmm will the adaptor work with N900? USB OTG is possible aslong we get the external power and trigger the usb host. But not sure if it ever possible with N900 and this adaptor?
A USB stick is sufficiently low power that it will power through the device (the external power requirement is for USB hard drives).
And yes, the N8 is not an n900 replacement, but as Nokia are slotting the Maemo devices as more computer than phone, I'd be very surprised if a feature like that is rolled out in the Symbian N-series and doesn't wind up on their Meego devices.
It's certainly not a slam dunk, but for them to have gotten it working on the N8 they would have had to intentionally build that capability in. I presume that the odds are better than not that the next Meego device won't backtrack from that decision.

N8 seems to be Symbian's answer to Maemo's masterpiece. The phone specs are no doubt brilliant. Feature wise it seems to be too good but how well these are implemented needs to be seen. However, seeing the initial videos I feel the UI of Maemo is better.
Dumping all available features on the market and using the storehouse of symbian apps is in no way level-playing and definitely doesn't mean the N8 is better. Even without the multi-touch or the HDMI out or the USB plugin modes N900 is still in a league of its own. Let's face it - how many mobiles are out there that are "really" open-source and developer friendly!

Mobile Computer phrase have been used since N95.
It's already explained that by 2011 when MeeGo is the high end platform it will gather the more of the tech savy people and people who look for more complete functions from a phone.
N8 is most of all multimedia monster. I have no doubt that this well kick N900 *** sales wise, but because of Qt4.6 that's nothing else than a positive thing for us that are looking for PR1.2 or Harmattan/MeeGo in the future.
