The device with standard kernel does not support host mode or USB-OTG but it is possible to configure (hack) working as host mode but . I discussed with some developers that did the implementation, HW does not comply with the USB-OTG specification so we can't claim supporting it and for that reason standard kernel does not have it compiled in nor device does not have ID pin connected. The device is open, so if you put your own kernel and configure it working in host mode, you get USB host but that does not comply any specification. The http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_USB is good description. The http://wiki.maemo.org/USB_host_mode is aomehow outdated and mostly talking about N800 and N810. They did not have USB host mode switched off from kernel driver and with them it was much more easy with my old usb-otg plugin. Sad that this more elegant solution is not possible in N900.
