Hi,
I have exactly the same problems with maemo-bluetooth-plugin
I would love an opportunity to set options / many options in bluetooth.ini/config file to let me work with 2 gps units once a time.
This option is on TODO list by Nokia, but no time line is set yet.
Linux/Debian is excellent free-/open source environment.
Unfortunately not fitted to individual application user.
I am tryuing hard to find a developer to tell me how to modify packages/ modify source and recompile them.
But it may take months.
So I would prefer editable bluetooth.ini files + some scripting to let me modify .bluetooth.ini file/s interactive way.
And for WiFi connections I would prefer an option to save hot spots to a file, to make some sorting, geocoding and more.
Linux/debian is open-source, free software but commercial application are more user-friendly and show much more interest in user's needs.
Today I will contact Nokia developers about maemo-bt-plugin
to see what can be done.
Frankly speaking I would iPhone + GPS +Wifi + Bluetooth
and a set of user-friendly tools.
My programming experience backs from Algol, Fortran, Cobol, Pascal, Basic, VBasic, JavaScript , PHP and especially with scripting languages
like PHP, JS, applications can be modified in a matter of hours, not months.
I develop Google Maps API applications, Naviteq applications, Google pipes applications as a developer, unfortunately have no experience to develop and port any application to Nokia tablet yet.
Maemo developers I have contacted, show no interest in new features, any user-interaction or interest.
Does it really mean, writing and porting an application to Nokia 770/800 is really so complicated and time-consuming ?
If so, it's a bottleneck on a way to make Nokia tablets a hot commercial product.
