(true)

So, what is an OTG 'A' cable ?
Is it available commercially, or is it the hardware hack I saw described 
in Kate Alhola's blog.

On Nokia's accessory site I see a "Nokia Connectivity Cable DKE-2" for 
the N800 and "Nokia Connectivity Cable CA-101" for the N810. I presume 
these are OTG 'B' ? The latter says it "enables charging your device from 
a USB port". Is that really true ?
