Maemo devices come equipped with a USB port that will allow you to connect your device to your computer for flashing the device, mounting the memory cards, and use USB networking. N800 and N810 can use USB host mode to connect USB peripherals to your tablet. N900 also uses the USB port for charging.
(Host mode on the N900 is being developed by users).
