Re: Bitcoin server running on an N900
A silly calculation.
Based on http://blockexplorer.com/q/nethash - I make the difficulty at the time of release about 600, rising to 1200 a month later.

The n900 accelerometer supports double-tap detection in hardware.

This is not implemented properly in the driver.

USB Host. (Are we there yet?)
USB host mode has been somewhat of a slog, which continues.
USB host mode lets you plug in random USB devices to your N900 using just a commonly available F-F adaptor cable plugged into the normal...

Re: Community input for new t.m.o. policy
I question the blanket 'no business advertising'.
While in some cases, this would be clearly inappropriate - for example -
'BUY MY AWESOME SCREEN PROTECTORS' - in others, it might be less so.

Re: USB HOST MODE! (Coming soon)
Basically not.
The 'interesting' parts of the USB are mostly confined to the USB module inside the chips.
That's what we're trying to work out at the moment, and it's generally better done...

Re: Screen scratch solutions?
For truly hairline scratches, the protector may completely conceal them.
It has a jelly-like substance on the back that it sticks to the screen with.
This will conceal small scratches.

Re: USB HOST MODE! (Coming soon)
OTG can never be got to work.
There are various reasons why the n90 can never support USB OTG - the wiring is basically wrong, though the components themselves support it.

You will never - with normal analog TV signals - get to that.
There are simply not 800 columns displayed on any TV standard, by most sensible measures.

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
One caveat.
the current exposed by the bq27200 needs multiplied by (20/3.57)mA to get a current.
It's a raw value from the chip.
the '20' is arguable - but is at least more or less reasonable....

Through the efforts of many - this has been achieved - at least in basic form.
