Cool eh?

Bluetooth devices are there but cannot rfcomm them??

It was my understanding that bluetooth wasnt included into roman's last
kernel.

Shutdown, reboot hangs! and needs hard reset.

This is as expected, suspend/resume was not included in this release. To my
understanding ben and roman have made heavy progress in this area although
they are still having a few problems with bringing the ipaq up properly
(things like touch screen not working after resume etc) (ben/roman if your
reading this - how about an updateon where your at?)

Well editing your reg isnt going to do anything for you - as when you do a
hard reset (or a reset from linux) the ipaq reverts back to its backup image
of windows. What you would need to do is edit the startup of the backup
image, which is stored on the NAND storage - on the first partition i
believe.

Now this isnt going to be easy because the NAND storeage uses an intel(i
think) propitory filesystem, for which nobody has writen a driver.

Perhaps you could write a driver for this, or see if there is a windows
based tool to access the memory.

I should also point out that messing around with the NAND storage is only
asking for trouble, if you dont know what your doing your likely to brick
(perma break) your ipaq.
