I’m definitely interested in this, but I am profoundly deaf. Will a TDD device work with this?

Since the platform is open.. I imagine there will be one eventually. If you don’t port it, someone will. Especially now that Sun’s code is going to be released..

As a Java Developer, I would be interested in a JMV on the phone. Is something like that planned? I have not seen anything about this issue, so I assume there currently is no JVM available for that platform.

Using x11/matchbox/gtk, sadly, is about the same mistake Nokia did with their 770. That stuff is too heavy for the device and for the programmer.

hurrah! so the efforts by xanadux and handhelds.org and others that have been put into reverse-engineering various bits of hardware means that there is actually quite a wide range of choice of fairly recent (and still current) chipsets - with supported drivers - for phone manufacturers to choose from.

A-GPS works perfectly fine in pure (autonomous) mode. The assisted part just makes for extremely fast cold fixes and indoor use.

Sweet. So Mickey, from that comment there would be no technical reason that it couldn’t happen if the drivers existed?
If something like the bt plugin for maemo (replaced the older bt keyboard plugin) existed
then the hardware would support it?

Tim, pairing with devices like keyboards is on our ToDo — this is the primary input device for guys (developers) like us

Chris, to my knowledge, AGPS works by using the cell information to improve the accuracy of the GPS. I’m fairly sure this cell information is not a requirement.
