I also think making stuff available for just one device is weird. We needed someone to hack a PRC to be able to use 4GB cards (for example).

Drive Mode wasn't on the TX because there's no internal VFS volume
for it to access -- the TX just has the hidden internal volume used
to implement NVFS. There is an internal VFS volume on the Tungsten
T5 and LifeDrive, so they have this feature. AFAIK, it's not on the E2.
The Treo supports a Bluetooth headset, but the phone audio hardware
is hooked up directly to the BT chipset. You'll notice that you
can't do normal sound playback through BT on the Treo, just phone
audio. Since the other BT-enabled devices don't have phone hardware,
there's nothing to connect here.
