*IDEA* Wait, because these systems support USB mass storage device - couldn't we use a normal browser and on download to a FIFO file and an upload to a FIFO to FIFOs on our server? So no local installation, nor Java support (I would have doubts that Java will be allowed to access the USB mass storage device, especialy not a USB network device...) So with this trick we could run an SSH tunnel via the FIFOs and would have Internet connection on our NEO at all these locations :))
This is a brilliant idea. Not only is USB mass storage supported on every modern computer, but Internet cafes, shops, and libraries are used to seeing people plug them in and don't consider them a threat (although perhaps they should). The phone is a USB host. So is the computer, so don't you need the USB On-The-Go protocol to determine which is going to host and which is to be the device? Or is there some other way this work? I might dig around the Linux implementation a bit to learn more. I find this idea very interesting.
