Ok, what is it?

In a nutshell, it allows you to use USB devices plugged into the Micro-
USB port on the N1 (with an adapter).

(Adapter:

As for the Dual Power USB, need to find a Micro-USB version of this:

If anyone can find and link, that would be cool. I can use the mini
one I linked because I have a Mini to Micro adapter, but others may
not.

You can use things such as:

Mouse
Keyboard
Thumb Drive
USB Monitors

Use your N1 as a Web Cam

The possibilities are almost endless! :D

I have ordered what I need to do this with my N1 and will update, but
if you have questions I can try and help! :D

I am hoping to test as many devices as I have. I have a slew of them
and will post back on what works and what doesn't.
