Some Bluetooth profiles have been disabled or removed from Fremantle, but can be "hacked" to work. Please see [[Fremantle Unsupported Bluetooth profiles]] for more details. Maemo Bluetooth capability is based on the Linux [http://www.bluez.org/ BlueZ] software stack

There are two Bluetooth networking protocols. The first, DUN, is well-supported in Maemo and is the recommended method for tethering to a cellular device for data. The second, PAN, does not have official support, but is well-supported by the community. PAN is faster and more versatile, but supported by far fewer devices than DUN.

DUN is the primary method for tethering to cellular devices. It is easy to set up and easy to use, but slower than PAN in many cases.

PAN is faster and more versatile than DUN, though supported by fewer devices, and not officially supported in Maemo, but support is provided by the community package [http://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo-pan maemo-pan]. PAN is particularly useful for setting up Bluetooth networks between your computer and your tablet.

Input devices are probably the most common use of Bluetooth. Keyboards are what most people will use, but Bluetooth mice are also an option, as well as interesting accessories like Wiimotes.

A Bluetooth mouse are more problematic, as, by default, the mouse pointer is invisible in Maemo, but they can be used with just a little configuration. A description how to get it work can be found [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=734576 here].
