Andy I have one of these 3G dongles, it should work from Freerunner battery OK since we have a charge pump for the full 500mA it is allowed to pull. this verizon dongle comes with a Y cable of its own to plug into two usb host ports... ostensibly because it pulls more than 500mA. -- Brad

That must be a really power hungry one... I plan on using my 3G / HSDPA Nokia E51 with the FreeRunner, probably over Bluetooth, but if that is too slow, then I'll give USB a shot. It doesn't charge over USB, so it shouldn't need too much power. Cheers, Federico On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 3:46 PM,

Andy ~ It certainly works out OK for USB memory sticks anyway. Battery life will be impacted it is fair to say though. not to sound like too much of a nut... I love my portable tech gear... but there is a battery-operated hub that might be interesting to toss in the mix (CP-H420MP). I'm

Michael Question: Is it possible to charge the Neo Freerunner when using the USB port in host mode, by ascerting LOGICAL hostmode and by NOT asserting EN_USBHOST? It's not just related, it goes to the core of the issue. :) Joerg assured us that we can do this. When the 47k resistor is

That's a great idea Matt! Might be a drain on the battery moving packets around though. Speaking of which, would anyone know if it would be possible to use a 3G USB dongle on one of these? I can't see why not. I have a friend here in Australia who users a Three (Hutchinson) network USB dongle
