And also what you mean by "at the same time" :-)
Gotta multitask myself to oblivion. I mean having the DUN profile work in the trusted mode so that every time I want to tether, I don't have to reboot into the open mode.

N900 examples

-receiving FM radio, possible but no support out of the box
-bluetooth profiles, missing DUN and PAN out of the box
-MMS, no hardware limitations afaik, only software

-USB host with the previous devices

And a USB host mode in a Maemo 6 device would bring even more potential awesomeness that would probably require some low-level meddling to get stuff work.

I mean this kind of added funtionality, not the Quake 3 kind. Nokia will probably fix these before Harmattan, but there will always be new ones.

Thanks for the clarifications, now I understand a bit better. So things like these end up to the signed kernel through Nokia?
