[maemo-developers] Developer device program

[From: tz]

(and is there any way we can have this forum rewrite the "from" so
replies go to everyone instead of just the one person?)

GPS - the internal one, and I'm monitoring the light and temperature on my n810.

I have several other things linked via bluetooth including a
high-performance (10Hz with WAAS) GPS and my radar detector (which I'm
integrating into a single device using a microcontroller - it includes
a 3axis accelerometer that is part of the data stream).  The GPS
switchover might be a problem - If the BT GPS is off or out of range,
I still record the device GPS information.

A second thing I'm working on involves the camera (or cameras).

Finally, some of the screen update stuff I'm doing is optimized based
on what can be drawn to the screen fastest (my motorcycle dashboard).

It worked rather well yesterday on my n810 WiMax.  I really don't want
to try attaching my laptop to my handlebars, even if I could get the
emulation to work better.

Anyone that has an n900, a Valentine V1 radar detector, and/or a
recent Harley is welcome to contact me.
