Hi Mickey,

I received my N900 some days ago and plan to add support for it in FSO.
Some points:

 * Audio chip is TWL4030 (same as palm pre according to your wiki)
 * Accelerometer is LIS302DL (same as freerunner)
 * Vibrator is controlled via led interface (like on the freerunner)
 * GPS is connected via gsm modem - I haven't checked the details yet
 * There's a proximity and light sensor - How to handle these in FSO?
 * What to do about the cameras (video/photo)? What about tagging
   photos (geotag, time, whatever)? Cameras are Video4Linux devices
   on N900 btw.
 * There's an FM receiver, but I guess we can ignore this one for
   now. We need a multimedia daemon for this, which could also
   handle DVB-H on other devices.
 * There's an FM transmitter. There should be support for it in the
   new audio manager. It is available as /dev/radio0 on n900.
 * Keyboard LEDs, status LED (exported via led interface on sysfs)
 * Button & Keyboard Support - I did not check this yet
 * Video Cable Detection - I did not check this yet either

So I guess N900 support is mostly about fso-gsmd. Today I checked
about any docs about GSM in N900 - Nokia commited their own IP-like
kernel interface for this (Phonet). There is an existing driver for
ofono to check how communication works and get information about the
magic bytes.
