Re: Bitcoin server running on an N900
A silly calculation.
Based on http://blockexplorer.com/q/nethash - I make the difficulty at the time of release about 600, rising to 1200 a month later.

The n900 accelerometer supports double-tap detection in hardware.

This is not implemented properly in the driver.

There are several problems with this.
Firstly, it is quite possible to screw your n900 by taking it apart - at least one actual electronic engineer by profession has had it fail due to the LCD...

Re: [Request] Strobe light using flash
This risks burning out the flash LEDs, if not done with care.

The LEDs cannot safely be flashed at high power for more than 0.5 seconds.

USB Host. (Are we there yet?)
USB host mode has been somewhat of a slog, which continues.
USB host mode lets you plug in random USB devices to your N900 using just a commonly available F-F adaptor cable plugged into the normal...

Re: dpad accessory for the n900
Switch is the trivial part.
You also need a microcontroller which implements the USB HID stack, and talks to the USB bus and the n900.

Re: Community input for new t.m.o. policy
I question the blanket 'no business advertising'.

Re: Community Driven "Appstore"

11.88 million of that is new versions of fmms.

Re: USB HOST MODE! (Coming soon)
Basically not.
The 'interesting' parts of the USB are mostly confined to the USB module inside the chips.
That's what we're trying to work out at the moment, and it's generally better done...

Re: Screen scratch solutions?
For truly hairline scratches, the protector may completely conceal them.
It has a jelly-like substance on the back that it sticks to the screen with.
This will conceal small scratches.

Re: Water under screen :(
Rice doesn't help much.
Think about it this way.
If rice absorbed huge amounts of water from the air, you'd need to keep it tightly sealed, or it'd be a drippy mess.
And - well - it's not.

OTG can never be got to work.
There are various reasons why the n90 can never support USB OTG - the wiring is basically wrong, though the components themselves support it.
