Will it talk to Gizmo and Skype on the Iphone? That would be very
interesting......
Silly hackers automated switching the Linux tablet's USB port to OTB or
Peripheral or Host. Simple prog boots, touch a button, bingo.
My tablet is playing DivX off a 1 terabyte Western Digital USB drive in
Host mode as I type this! The tiny USB port on the tablet doesn't
deliver enough power to run a laptop USB drive, so you use a USB hub to
add power. That works, too, on my 250GB laptop USB drive.
I'm not sure how many terabytes an N800 supports. It supports 1TB just
fine. So, now you just plug your massive hard drive into the USB port
in Host mode and use one of the tablet's file managers to copy to the
16GB SD cards....freeing your mainframe for more important stuff, like
downloading...(c;
I wanna see iPhone's new Voip rendering Gizmo and Googletalk
Video....from the Linux tablets would be fun...(c;

KDE looks cool on the tablet, too!
