Of course you need a special cable to use your Droid even more like a computer thanks to this feature—but hey, it's great anyway, thanks to <a href="http://www.tombom.co.uk/blog/?p=124">Chris Paget for the cable guide</a>, and Mike Kershaw and Mike Baker, who are Kismet/OpenWRT hackers, for the hacking.
As soon as it is confirmed that the GSM-Droid, the Milestone is USB OTG capable too, I will be tempted to replace my Openmoko FreeRunner and T-Mobile G1 by a “Milestone”.</p>
