My guess is the same, except that there likely is no power at all to supply the VBUS. (SImilar to the 770, that supported host mode but you had to do your own power injection.)
Correct, power injection I'm assuming will be a must.
I visited yesterday in Nokia Store Helsinki, Finland. I checked the application manager and there was USB control available to install. I don't what that means, but I think it can give us some hope. There was no USB devices available so I didn't test it.

it means, well, nothing. usb control is for n8x0 devices and has no effect on the n900. Not even on the 770.

It's a regular package in the extras-devel repository
I'm tempted to get a Mobidapter and use it on my E51 (which is going to be the companion of my future n900, since I have separate sim cards for voice and data). Though, it's quite expensive. And, no used ones on ebay.
EDIT you can get a Mobidapter for about 20 EUR less than Expansys on http://www.roalan.com. Mine is going to cost 40 EUR including VAT and airline shipping.
Unfortunately, that's not so easy my friend. Read the first post of this thread.
Maybe Michal was generalizing to the n900 what was already known for the n8X0 - but there seem to be some hardware differences which don't allow an easy turning to otg mode.
The thread I assume tto is refering to. Last post atm (the one link leads to):

I'm sorry, I haven't read about it on Maemo.org, and I haven't tested it on the N900 yet. I was using USB host successfully on N800/N810 and that's why I assumed it would be the same on the N900....
But the Maemo.org folks surely are in the know and they can't be wrong... Well, what a pity... it was a very useful feature...
I do have a question and I apologize in advance for the very basic technical terms used in this post.
The TI OMAP3430 used in the N900 is a System on a Chip (SoC), that means everything comes together and you have to live with it, right ? The OMAP3430 does support High Speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go.
How can Nokia modify the OMAP3430 to take that feature out of the N900 ? Is it something easy to do ? I mean like not plugging the "thing" that support USB On-The-Go.
