"If Maemo 6 still doesn't support bluetooth DUN out of the box will I be able to use it as my laptop modem and play a DRM'd game at the same time?"

The question here is how DUN is added on in Maemo 5. If it's just BlueZ configuration then, depending on the restrictions about modifying (rather than adding) the BlueZ files on the signed rootfs, it might be more possible than if a recompiled BlueZ is required.

And also what you mean by "at the same time" :-)

Certainly, there'll have to be more openness between Nokia and the community in getting uinput and other kernel features into the signed kernel.

I'm mostly concerned that if I want to use paid software I'm stuck with out of the box functionality. If someone in the know could rephrase these concerns to relevant technical questions to the security team and the responses back to layman answers I'd be very grateful.

It depends what you mean by "out-of-the-box functionality". If the functionality touches the low levels of the system, the chances increase that it might not work with a more locked down runtime. However, Quake 3 isn't available out-of-the-box, and that kind of additional application should still be trivial to ship through maemo.org Extras.

A question about changing configuration files for BlueZ and inserting unsigned kernel modules seems appropriate though.
