Step 8Now What?
So now that you know how to interact with the serial port on the G1, you probably have a bunch of ideas floating around your head for how to take advantage of it, right?
Wouldn't it be nice to use this to:
-Control a robot
-Use the G1 as a serial console to connect to servers in a beowulf cluster like System-X
-Communicate with sensors/activators over a 3g network for remote monitoring/control
-Use the serial port to attach a blood glucose reader or other medical device (psst, any big medical companies hiring?) and combine two devices into one for many people?
Here's a project that explains how to compile the G1 phone's kernel so you can use the serial port from the userland. It also features an api so you can use the serial port directly from Android Gui apps!

Don't forget to post your projects here when you're done!
