How to connect a Bluetooth Keyboard and Cell phone to a Nokia 770: http://blip.tv/file/892343

This guy does a good job showing the major things that any of the Nokia Internet Tablets can do and how to tether them (connect) to Keyboards and cell phones. He mentioned that some kind of driver download was needed. I did not need to download any drivers or anything else to use either my cell phone (or those of my friends with unlimited data plans) or keyboard. It just worked.

He completely left of Maemo-Mapper – a free GPS application. Just tether a GPS Receiver ($34) and you’re good. You can have GPS, Keyboard, Cell Phone all tethered over Bluetooth at the same time. It just works.

I didn’t realize that the media player would playback almost anything, including OGG. Interesting. I only use it to play MP3 audio – which it does nicely – WHILE THE GPS APP IS WORKING. Linux is multitasking – the N800 is no different. No studdering or any other issues seen with either the GPS or Audio player application. An optimized video would probably work well too – I generally just copy the same file that my TiVo produces (after removing the DRM envelope) to the device. That’s a 480×480 video and it plays back.
