[Q] ANT+

I noticed that in the latest version of MyTracks google has added support for ANT+ devices (ie. HRM's etc). I was wondering if our Nexus S' have the necessary hardware support for ANT+?
Cheers

Did you ever find the answer to this?

I had the same question.
There are some gears for geocaching out there which use ANT+ (Garmin Chirp) and I don't want to buy a garmin for that.

I'm also interested...anyone know something?

I don't believe that the NS or NS4G has ANT+.
http://code.google.com/p/mytracks/wiki/UsingSensors:
As of this writing, the only phones which are ANT-compatible are specific ones in the Sony Xperia series, such as the Sony Xperia Arc. Sony has indicated that a software update will enable ANT support on the Xperia X8, Xperia X10 mini, and Xperia X10 mini Pro in Q1 2011.

Currently I’m using Galaxy Ace GT5830i. I have checked my friends whose using jelly bean, it’s quite working fine. But it’s not working to me and the company says it’s compatible to android 2.2 and above. Could someone please help me on this?

[Q] Wireless Peripherals and Gaming Controllers

I would like to know a few things about android peripherals:
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus and I'm about to buy a gaming controller for it.
​First question:
What's the difference between 2.4 Ghz Wireless Connection and Bluetooth? I mean, can you use a 2.4 Ghz PS3 Controller on Android, or no?
​2nd Question:
Is there any possible way of using a WiiMote Plus with this device? I know that Samsung changed the Bluetooth Stack Drivers, but I also saw a guy on YouTube connecting a WiiMote to Samsung Galaxy with no problem!

Like I said in my above post, Samsung replaced the stock andoid Bluetooth drivers in Touchwiz with their drivers!
For this reason the WiiController app and other similar ones do not work on it.

Which Android 10 phone for Samsung 360?

I have a Samsung gear 360 camera (the round ball). Support ended with Android 10. l'd like to know what is the cheapest phone to be able to use my camera? This will be dedicated to camera use and won't need a mobile network. Any suggestions appreciated.
