Scroll Fits Nicely

[edtuckerartist]

Is there a GPS that will plug into the USB?

This works on Linux.

Don't know if it could be made to work on Android though.

Been looking into this subject myself and came across this http://sourceforge.net/p/bluegps4droid/home/ i know the bluetooth doesnt work on on the scroll (yet) but if one of our progammers can turn it on we might have something.

Bluetooth.......?
Is it just laying dorment in the hardware then?

No, there's no bt hardware inside the scroll so SO have set bluetooth to disabled in the android OS.

So even if you plug USB bt hardware in or solder some onto the board you still wont have bt as it needs bluetooth set to enabled to work

Surely it can be set to enabled, if not how about this machine here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-2-EPAD-FLYTOUC ... 3cb460ad5d it uses android 2.1 same as ours but is supplied with a gps antenna. Cant we use something like that.

The bluez / bt init scripts are on V1 firmware but not enabled. This would/should allow you to re-enable bluetooth in the OS. But you would still need drivers for the particular BT chipset / dongle you attach so would still be a mute point. Although finding a .so/.ko file that is compatible with a particular BT dongle shouldn't be too difficult, as yet you couldn't use any BT kit with the scroll.
