I'm not sure if you can do it with an arduino. Probably worth further investigation. Also thanks for the link to the 8x8 led matrix, I've wanted some of these for ages but didn't know anywhere in UK to buy them!

It seems they put a lot of research into who they were sending them to, mine had a couple of different things along with the N900. I'm really into music and they included some high quality Bluetooth headphones instead of a soldering iron. I also got a Liverpool FC keyring (my team) instead of the sports bandage. I wonder how many other people received these boxes? It's a very clever marketing plan. Are you sure we get too keep the phones though? I was under the impression they go back in a couple of weeks. I'd be really delighted if I can keep it :D Enjoy your N900! Dan I also received a box like this from Lydia at WOMworld last week.

Hopefully MythTV will update it's remote control interface and everything will run faster soon. Wiimotes use bluetooth so they also will go through walls.
