You Qtopia guys seem to have a quite unusual (for a unix hackers) POV ;) Framework already supports BT headsets. The fact GUI is missing shows the lack of interest from end-users, well, i think it'll change soon. > Also, the person that wrote that wiki says "However, I couldn't get an > actual voice over it, just crackling".

And BTW please take into account it seems that not all headsets are compatible with BT chip we use (at least it was the case some time ago, i guess i need to try again with my not-working headset and latest bluez and bluetooth-testing kernel branch). -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
