I dont think the N900 will support usb hosting. N900 is not yet available here in my country so no hope of testing it.

Also it was designed for a Nokia cell phone and has function keys that perform no function on the N810 and is likewise missing the function keys on the N810. I hope you have better luck. The tablet's slide down keyboard is fine for data entry but not up to writing. I plan to get one of these little USB keyboards.
Wow, good catch guys! I just found a Nokia bluetooth keyboard "used" (New, but been bought, and stored privately) for 25 bucks.

The small USB keyboard I ordered worked well but only for a while. The miniUSB connector in the keyboard fell apart. Cheap is unfortunately not a good deal -- just cheap.

For Foldable, I have the Matias USB, and an iGo Bluetooth. I prefer the Matias (full size when opened up, no worries about batteries, etc.). I haven't tried it on my NITs though, only on my Netbook.
The Matias is at:

I like it quite a bit :-)
