Of course you can connect the Eee over bluetooth. You just need a bluetooth dongle. Mine recognized the dongle immediately, with no drivers needed. I also use CF cards with it, using a card reader. There isn't much room for a CF slot, but my card reader connects via the USB port, and I use my micro HD from my Lifedrive in it. For $400 you can't really expect to have everything installed, but everything I've tried works via the USB ports. I've ditched my HP laptop, and my desktop, and pretty much my N800, in favor of the Eee.
