I'm planing to buy a WP device for quite a long time. But there are some little things that always set me back (beside the price).
For instance, today I just realised how much I would miss the FM Radio transmitter that I have on my N8.
Riding a bus, the driver shuffles between the radio stations, can't find what he likes, and I just pulled my N8 out, turned the transmitter on and instantly started having fun with it.
One other feature I would also miss is the USB OTG feature. You could LITERALLY make a computer out of your mobile phone.
Connect a monitor(TV) via HDMI, a mouse and a keyboard via Bluetooth and USB (that's what I'm talking about, you could plug in other devices to your device which would act as a host),
and voila - there you have your computer.
Not to mention that you could plug in nearly anything, from keyboards, mouses and other small devices to other phones and flash drives.
So I'm also wondering, is this a hardware of a software problem? Does WP already support any of these two features but the manufacters are just lazy to make use out of it, or they don't want to put it in because it would need a software update (like GDR2/Amber for FM Radio)?
