Does this thing have a USB host port? Perhaps one of these would work.

Yes, the N800 has a USB port that can be turned around and used as a USB host by way of  "USB
on-the-go", also called OTG.  Support for this is in the linux-omap git tree.  It barely works
and the N800 can only supply a tiny bit of power to the attached peripheral.

Sorry, but this is not true. Host mode is *not* supported with N800. 
Regardless of which source code. The hardware doesnt make it possible.

Sorry, but this is not true :-) I have it running right now. You need patched kernel but it
works. See http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail//maemo-developers/2007-O...
