IIRC, it was a dirty hack back in the ITOS2007 days. No idea if  
ITOS2008 improved that. Never owned a bluetooth headset, so no idea.

Apple, iPhone and iTunes ? Impacts on the Wireless World
by Dr. Mehmet Unsoy

Happy New Year!

While the world is in the midst of major economic problems, it is good 
to start the New Year with some positive stories. I believe Apple has 
made and continues to make significant contributions to the development 
of the wireless industry. This is acknowledged by partners and 
competitors alike.

After the less than stellar MacWorld 2009 in San Francisco earlier this 
month, and in particular, after Steve Jobs' announcement of taking a 
6-month medical leave of absence, Apple's stock took some losses. 
However, this week Apple announced their 2009 Q1 results, with record 
quarterly revenue of over $10 billion and record quarterly net profit of 
$1.6 billion. Thus, Apple's future looks as bright as ever, and their 
flagship wireless product, 3G iPhone as well as iPhone apps on iTunes 
will continue to have a huge positive impact on the global mobile market.

You may recall that 3G iPhone was launched globally on July 11th, 2008. 
Within the first 6 months, around 12 million 3G iPhones have been sold, 
with significant majority in the U.S., to AT&T subscribers. However, as 
of now, iPhone is available in over 80 countries, through more than 100 
mobile operators. So, it truly is a global product.

Smartphones are the most important handset category to observe in the 
developed mobile markets. The features of 3G iPhone in particular are 
having major impacts on the direction of the smart phones. The 
multi-touch screen of iPhone has revolutionized not just the handset 
screen market, but has also triggered a major momentum towards touch 
screens for all sizes of display. We are experiencing a dramatic change 
in behavior: when you see any type of screen in your daily life, you 
will first ?touch? it, and if it does not respond, you may anticipate 
that there is something wrong with that screen! Bottom line is, we will 
see some new innovations, cost reductions, and new applications around 
?touch screens? in coming months / years. It is not outrageous to 
predict that non-touch screens may go the way of black & white screens!

On 3G iPhones, we have both an all-you-can-eat 3G mobile Internet 
flat-rate and Wi-Fi connectivity. This combination has significantly 
increased mobile Internet usage in the last 6 months, especially in the 
U.S. As of today, about 50% of all mobile Internet access in the U.S. is 
through a 3G iPhone, including the use of it through Wi-Fi access. 
Browsers on other smartphones including BlackBerry and Windows Mobile 
have followed suit and beefed up their feature sets and capabilities 
recently. So much so that we now have a serious debate as to whether it 
will be the browsers that will win the battle of mobile content, or the 
downloaded mobile apps. It is interesting that browsers on handsets may 
owe their recent success to Wi-Fi capability on the handset! In fact, 
Apple may be approving 3rd party browsers for iPhone, but this may have 
some strings attached!

The combination of assisted GPS, large screen and various mapping & 
navigational apps have made 3G iPhone one of the most exciting personal 
navigation devices (PND). This is not only triggering various other 
mobile devices to take on the PND role (both on-vehicle and pedestrian), 
but also opening up numerous location-based retail and advertising 
services, creating significant excitement and an effective value 
proposition around LBS. Maybe, after waiting for so many years, LBS is 
finally here, and iPhone has been a major enabler for this market.

One of the major frustrations with 3G iPhone has been the battery or 
power management. It is fair to say that if you use most of the features 
of iPhone, you may have to charge it multiple times during the day. 
Alternatively some important features such as 3G, GPS or Wi-Fi may have 
to be turned-off to conserve battery, which defeats the purpose of 
iPhone. However, frustration with the iPhone battery has enabled various 
innovations around back-up batteries, new battery technologies and power 
management solutions.

In fact, there is hope that iPhone 3.0 (which is rumored to be targeted 
for June or July 2009) may have some improvements in power management. 
Other rumors for iPhone 3.0 include 3D graphics, with the use of 
quad-core CPU, offering an excellent platform for new gaming apps. Yet 
another expe

I can see an icon for the headset in the FM radio, though it's greyed 
out.  My connection is also HSP and the OS is 2007.  I have not upgraded 
to the latest.

My headset shows "HSP".

I A2DP works in Maemo, it doesn't work out of the box. I have a
Motorolla S9 stereo headset. It works with my N810 but not in stereo
(I've tried).

There are a number of different Stereo profiles for Bluetooth. I believe 
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is the most common, but that 
relies on other elements that need to be in place. It's also uni 
directional. BlueZ supports it in Linux, so in theory, it should work, 
depending on which Bluetooth stack Maemo uses.

Control digital camera ?

[Andrew Daviel]

Is there gphoto2 or similar PTP code for the N810 ?

I have a Canon Powershot SX100IS camera which one can control via USB.
It would be nice to use the tablet as a trigger if doing long exposures 
on a tripod. My old SLR had a mechanical trigger port to screw in a cable 
or pneumatic trigger to avoid camera shake when pushing the shutter 
release, but the digital camera has only USB.

Of course, I suspect that the camera USB power requirement exceeds the
power budget on the tablet, so I'd need a powered hub, hence external 
power and more cables, so might as well just use a regular laptop.
AA-battery powered hub, anyone ?

If I just wanted to get photos off, it might be easier to use a micro-SD 
card with SD adapter in the camera, then switch to a mini-SD adapter in 
the tablet. Yuk. Or I should have bought a wireless-capable camera.
But it would be nice to be able to email or upload photos on the road 
with only the tablet.
