One point people are questionning me about when they see the device for the first time is why isn't it a mobile phone too? ;)</p> <p>It would totally make sense but Nokia has probably good reasons for not providing that...</p> fonts http://base-art.net/Comments/243/ February 13, 2008 11:30 AM <p>great gadget! nokia rule the mobile world! :-)</p> johnny http://base-art.net/Comments/241/ February 13, 2008 08:15 AM <p>As an N800 owner, I wish that Nokia had used a micro plug in this model too. What you have is a micro AB plug, meaning you can use either micro A (when the tablet is the master) cables or micro B (when the tablet is the slave) cables. This is nice, because the USB OTG spec specifies a micro A cable, so they're commonly available with the otg wiring (pin 5 grounded). So you can just buy an OTG micro A-&gt;standard female A cable/dongle, and have a standard USB port on your tablet, with it automatically switching to USB host mode as soon as the cable is plugged in. Just don't try to run a bus-powered hd off the port since it doesn't supply the full 500 mA (but keyboards, flash drives or a powered USB hub should be ok).</p> <p>On the N800, they only put in a mini B (not AB, just B) port. An old version of the otg spec used mini instead of micro, so it's still possible to find some otg cables with mini plugs, but they're all A-style plugs like the spec required, not the B-style plugs the N800 accepts. So any otg cable for the N800 is going to have to be custom made, and only useful for the N800.</p>
