Re: What is your Tablet's Device Name, and Why?
Name: Kraft.
Why? It was the name of the optronic computer owned by Axen Moon in the story of Outpost 2. Sort of his digital counterpart in the world, even though he only generally talked with it...

Re: Nokia N810 and apple wireless KB
Mine's always been a pain to pair: not only with my tablet but also with my laptop and desktop. It generally takes about three attempts, but the first time pairing with my n810 took much more than...

Re: N810 and Iphone Bluetooth
I do have to agree that their choice of bluetooth protocol implementations is a bit... odd.
A2DP should be there; and likely is in some form, to be honest, but I am willing to bet that they were...

Re: N810 and Iphone Bluetooth
AFAIK the iPhone does not support a number of somewhat important protocols in the bluetooth stack.
DUN/SPP is among them [Dial Up Networking] which is, generally, the most used network protocol. I...

Ah yes... this infuriates me to no end. "We stock Item X/Y" and then reality turns another side. It could, theoretically be that they only stock it online... but I won't give them the benefit of the...

Re: Buying N810 in Canada?
Got my n810 from NCIX when they first came out [well, it was a couple weeks to get it in, but still]
The n800 claims to be in stock at tigerdirect.ca and I've seen a bunch of deals there.

Re: Why is WiMax such a big deal?
Yep, we're agreeing I think.
HSDPA in Europe, etc = likely the way to go.
WiMAX in other markets = possibly *a* way to go.
Besides, someone has to be the guinea pig, right?
Yeah, I like...

Re: Where is HSDPA?
While I agree partly, and simply cannot comment on more evolved cellular networks, I'll just point out that WiMAX makes sense here.
Our cellular networks aren't bad... they're remarkably bad. I...

Sure it will work? HAHA, no... hoping... praying, even... possibly. But... I have my hopes. The rollout of WiMAX in Canada-land might make it a tempting target market for Nokia. This is my hope at...

Re: OS 2008 Bluetooth Audio
True enough, I was just trying to simplify things ;)
Any application that can specify a particular audio output path to alsa should be able to output to the bluetooth device.

Re: OS 2008 Bluetooth Audio
As stated, it is possible to get A2DP working with OS2008.
Nokia hadn't quite finished the A2DP bluetooth profile when the last OS came out, so finishing it [or rather, getting it to a usable...
