Yes yes, if you get it power from somewhere other than the Neo (such as an internal battery, USB power injector, or a (battery) powered hub). It's been discussed before. Speeds won't be great (USB 1.1 limiting), but should be doable. To summarize for those who haven't noticed, another possible option, if you really need wifi, might be the (also previously mentioned) upcoming Seagate DAVE disks; they have both BT and Wifi connectivity, and are supposed to be "open systems", so perhaps it will be possible to make one into a self-powered BT/Wifi gateway (in addition to portable storage), at least if they run Linux. However, no definite word on the extent of their openness and adaptability exists at this point, just a possibility. And, as also said, you can get wireless internet via BT too, just that the Wifi AP installed base is out of reach. -- Mikko J Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
