Hi, I have a question about the USB host feature ... Could it be possible to use a traditional USB keyboard with this feature ? (Enough power ? Compatible plugs ?) Can we get an adapter to be able to plug any traditional USB devices ? (USB storage key ...)

(USB storage key ...) Thanks for your answers. --- I can't speak for the Neo (since I haven't been able to get my hands on one), but in the case of the Nokia N800 there's enough power to run USB keyboards (even a Gyration wireless keyboard/mouse receiver!) but not enough to run my MicroSD thumb drive. The solution is to use a powered hub. That's not very mobile-friendly, though. You can make your own adapter cable, and while you're at it add a connector to the cable that lets you inject power from a battery pack or USB power supply. I'm going to attempt to hack up a portable battery-powered hub so I can have multiple fully-powered USB jacks on the go.
