IIRC the most recent CM7 has Bluetooth?!? Haven't tried it yet though....

Pre-cached Google Maps - matches what I was able to do on the N800... Now to look for a cheap android phone with wifi to run TetherGPS


Alternatively, if BT works...a BT GPS might be in order.

Looks like range is an issue...

If they got BT working.. BAM! Keyboard, mouse, BT module, etc.

From a quick read through last night....

Keyboard, mouse, BT GPS, Wiimote, PS3sixaxis ?(may have been a halucination) All work with a few caveat/workarounds.

Bummer: BT Headset = no go yet
Think it FC/rebooted when I tried to pair with my old jawbone...

SIXAXIS? Awesome!
More Apple fanboys cringing is a good thing.

But BT Headset, Keyboard, Mouse, GPS, more good things to come.

Ironically, all of these things --ALL-- work on my Motorola Droid A855 with CyanogenMod... so yeah.. it's just an eventuality for the Nooky, it BT is working at all!

Played with a Lenovo Thinkpad tablet the other day. It´s not Maemo/Meego great, but that boat seems to have been scuttled, so I just ordered myself the Thinkpad.

I´m a big Thinkpad guy, the laptops are more durable than any of the other ones I´ve had (HP, Dell) so I´m pretty optimistic the hardware is going to be well supported.

The Thinkpads are generally well supported so that won´t be a problem I think.

Oh and the stylus that gets stored inside the tablet is a nice reminder of the N900

I cannot hit the Thank you button for this news. Tragic.

"Hey Apple, screw you!"

Apple is clearly clawing at the ledge desperate if this is what it's come down to. GO SAMSUNG! WHOO!
