W1060 / A81 some updates

- i have been playing with my W1060 recently, i have up to date firmware and GPS built in

GPS wise
- modified Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20 for WindowsMobile somehow works (detects it as serial GPS at COM5, no need to set baudrate, have not used portsplitter) - unstable, keeps crashing with errors, will work on it later....
- Nav N Go iGO 8.3.4.102680 will detect GPS as well and seems to be more stable than Garmin, probably will end up using that....again, without portsplitter

- Beeline GPS is good software which works without crashing, not really for navigation, but to use GPS features and make sure you are getting good signal etc..

USB OTG wise

- provided adapter enables connecting either keyboard or mouse, no problem
- when connected to externally powered USB hub, i was able to connect both keyboard, mouse and even third USB device which needed extra drivers and WinCE asked for them...

I am bit unclear about what COM1 and COM3 are, it shows UART, maybe Kathy could clear that up a little?

I have not been able to use Bluetooth for anything yet, i tried to connect external Bluetooth GPS module and use it with garmin/igo, authentication in bluetooth device manager shows ok, but it does not appear like another COM port and none GPS softwares will find it....
