I really do like this idea. Even the more capacious 16 and 32 GB drive come in thumbnail sizes, so it's not like it has to stick out in an obnoxious way from the phone. If this doesn't nuke the Nexus One's battery, I could see this guy taking the concept to interesting places.]]>Jun 4th 2010 5:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/nexus-one-gets-usb-host-driver-from-a-dude-with-an-oscilloscope/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/nexus-one-gets-usb-host-driver-from-a-dude-with-an-oscilloscope/

As already mentioned, the N8 does this, but so do many other Nokia models going back years. Nokia as always, so far ahead of the game that the haters just can't comprehend their brilliance.

You know, that and DAP's have had USB host capabilities for darn near a decade now. ]]>Jun 4th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/nexus-one-gets-usb-host-driver-from-a-dude-with-an-oscilloscope/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/nexus-one-gets-usb-host-driver-from-a-dude-with-an-oscilloscope/Windows Mobile was also capable of this.

I know, but I did not mention it because the person I was replying to specifically mentioned Nokia and on poster mentioned the N8 in reply but it's far from the only Nokia that can do it. Nokia has been making mobile computers since two years before Google was founded. Haters had better recognize.

That and I don't know if Windows Phone 7 can do it or not out of the box. So Windows phones may lose that capability because Windows Phone 7 seems to have a few carrier requested drawbacks backed right in. We will see soon enough I suppose.

How is that a big win for the Nexus 1? Many DAP's have had USB hosting for close to a decade and Nokia's been doing it for years on their phones. Just cause you don't think it's pretty, don't think for one second that Symbian and Maemo (and now Meego - the true king of mobile Linux) are not the most full featured mobile OS' on the planet.
