And you're back to step 2... tedious setup And of course you might have the horror of having one of those wifi cards that just loves to randomly bring down the entire system.

You know, I really don't have to justify my preference. It's not inherently "right" and you might even be able to define it as "wrong", but it's still my preference and that's what I'll base my purchasing decision on.

But, since you ask: I have a 16 GB card in my pocket computer, and a 32 GB flash drive in my pocket. Obviously, the flash drive can hold more than the pocket computer. Sometimes I want to access files on the flash drive. Do you seriously think I would choose to go to a desktop computer, transfer the files I need from the flash drive to the desktop, then from the desktop (DIRECTLY! -- as you put it) to the pocket computer?

Thanks, but I'll wait for a pocket computer that actually fits my needs, rather than adapting my work to a poorly designed (in terms of meeting my needs) pocket computer.

Are these possible solutions or not? How to get n900 to understand these devices? Is there something more like to put in pocket solution available. My opinnion is that wifi is maybe the solution if hacking won't work.

And Amazon has it's own too: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...F8&me=&seller=

Noh. I think this would suffice:
1) Linux (or *NIX) computer in small case. Low-power x86-32 or one of the RISC (PPC, ARM, ...).
2) Internal drive bay for 3"5 HDD.
3) One USB OTG port for CD/DVD burning or N900.
4) BlueTooth or WiFi for controlling the device over SSH, HTTPS. These interfaces also allow one to perform CD/DVD burning.
5) Then mounting NIT using SSHFS and then rsync or whatever.
6) Requires power adapter. Maybe add second USB EH port for powering up the NIT. Then you almost have a docking station.
7) The device would be a bit bigger than a standard 3"5 drive bay.

I think asus makes those... they're called Eee or something... perhaps someone can post a link.

Too bad N900 won't probably play back 720p smoothly.

The N900 playback quality will depend how well we can use the DSP and other extensions - the OMAP34340 should be very capable of 720p if the extensions are fully utilized.
