If you find a good price for them online, post it here :-)

Here you go: http://www.lindy.com/us/catalog/14/12/02d/index.php

For other countries, go to www.lindy.com.

Are we sure the mini-A will plug into the N800?

Unfortunately, I'm in Trinidad and no-one delivers here.

I would hope that a driver to mount an external disk would be one of the obvious ones.

I'm going to get me an OTG USB cable so i am ready for the arrival of OS2008.
Check the previous posts for links. There are USB OTG mobile HD enclosures with their own power source on the market. With the right connector, it should be able to carry 100GB + with you on the road for a reasonable price. There are advantages and disadvantages to a USB OTG HD:

Pros:
1) Great for sharing info with other devices
2) Faster (in theory) than bluetooth
3) Readily available now
4) Tremendous storage potential.

Cons:
1) Not as convenient as bluetooth
2) Not nearly as convenient as internal memory
3) One extra device to carry around

If bluetooth drives are available, I'll likely choose this over the USB OTG. However, if they are too costly, then USB OTG will be my mass storage/backup/portable choice.

Yeah, on the bluetooth HD front, I'm still waiting to hear about availability of the Seagate DAVE and the Agere BluOnyx. Hopefully soon for both.

Me too.

I hope that these drives are solid state *and* know how to go to sleep to conserve battery life.

Convenience is the name of the game.

Since an iPod can function as a self-powered USB HDD formatted with FAT32, can it be used as an OTG storage device with the Nokia N800 and N810? This could make a N800 + iPod a great combination for archiving pictures from SD card while on the go. Also, if an app on the N8x0 could parse the iPod's bizarre native file structure, the N8x0 could be used as a bigger screen/speakers to watch MPEG4/H.264 videos that are stored on the iPod.

Any chance Nokia will support this:

The N810 uses Micro, not Mini-USB (see Wikipedia)
I googled a bit and cannot find anyone selling Micro-A cables or adapters. This may be because the Micro-USB standard is quite recent, and the N810 is likely the first device to offer host mode using said standard.

Lucky I didn't order them, then.

This possibility can also apply to the Creative Vision:M and the n800/n810
