Near the end of the N800 Road
 

Having read this:

There would go my last reason to hold onto the n800. I love Maemomapper. And it's the only reason I did not jump to the iPhone or Touch but if the linked report is true and it works with ny Holux Gpslim and doesn't cost an arm and a leg, it'll be bye bye N800.

The dock connector is barred from the SDK. The bluetooth will be as well.

Don't get your hopes up.

I doubt that Bluetooth connector will be off limits. In fact I doubt that the BT connection is even blocked given that until now no applications could "legally" be put onto the iPhone. I could care less about the dock connection as I'll need that for charging the thing during long distance drives.

That seems to an alternative, but lol at the price.

If you really want a GPS, get a Garmin. Nothing else will satisfy.

Yes, but it seems something else does satisfy:

AFAICT bluetooth will *not* be accessible from applications made with the SDK. If someone finds a hack around it Apple will just bar their app from the "App Store." That means no bluetooth keyboard support, no bluetooth gps support, no serial-over-bluetooth support. As many purchasers of the Nokia Internet Tablets learned, "Don't purchase a device based on what you think it might be capable of, buy it based on what it *is* capable of."

so what does the i have that the n800 doesn't, now that they both have gps?

Shiny, shiny!

Bluetooth, Flash and ability to run background apps. External stereo speakers built in. Stylus. Not tied to iTunes... not bidden to your Apple overlords.
