Ok, my first post!

I've got one at the last deal and it's a pretty nice kit for the price, but I have difficulties finding a use for it.
I really miss bluetooth, the connectivity gets a little limited with the subGHz RF. I would love to be able to connect it to my android phone, htpc, computer and so on, and it's sad that it isn't plausible.

I got the Sony Ericsson LiveView just to get that bluetooth ability, but that was a major dissapointment. Buggy piece of crap... Short batterylife, bugs everywhere, dropping connection all the time and no support to mention really... Seems it was a "release and forget" product.

If anyone have any fun projects using the Chronos to share, please do, i really think it's a nice device despite it's shortcomings and I would love ideas.
