Ideally, they should just include USB Host Mode and OTG support, and then bundle in the appropriate HID drivers for bluetooth mice and keyboards.

Then, you get all the benefits of being able to use *any* USB or bluetooth device, from keyboards to mice to card readers, transparently. The users can then purchase just the accesories they need, on the open market.

I wonder if the largest lesson isn't "Make sure the functionality is bullet-proof on such a central feature."

If this is the killer app for a device like the 770 — OK, maybe it is and maybe it isn't — then they would risk demolishing their market by releasing buggy VoIP.

As I think about it, what really could be the killer app is what Ari Jaaksi wrote about some time back — using the 770 with a Bluetooth phone to have access to the web even when you're away from general network access. It's just not something phones are good at by themselves.

The "internet" tablet is about accessing the internet. It's good to get away from the desk and use it in a meeting room, or on the couch or in bed (or as others have described, as a device accessing the network). But I keep thinking about the day I paired with a BT phone and surfed all the way into the city on a train and all the way to work as I walked from the train station to the office. That was different.

Of course, the big barrier here isn't the 770's capabilities but the Telco price of access.

Um, this is a digression, isn't it. I'll make a new thread . . .

All I know is something has got to give. We now have an awesome mobile device that is just begging to be customized to the ends of the Earth.
