why can't you just use the usb ports for extarnal hdds?

what can you plug in the ps3 usb ports? would just any keyboard/mouse work?

how about the really practical stuff like usb christmas trees and usb fans?

There is a new version of the "Eye-toy" camera that will connect via usb, with applications to use it like a re-done Singstar karaoke and games.

You can hook up ext. USB drives and save to/play from. I just read that in Euro PS3 Hands-on that was posted today.

I think pretty much any keyboard and mouse can be plugged in. I doubt you'd get access to the fancier buttons and keys on some devices, though.

Currently Bluetooth mice and keyboards are not supported, but will be in a future update.

Though, I wouldn't be surprised if you could use a USB wireless keyboard/mouse.
