Hi Marcel

Only like say tanks, tanks to Marcel, to Qualcomm, ... tanks to all for
share your code, documentation, and mails. Tanks for share your
bluetooth linux live.

In spanish:
Solo puedo decir gracias, gracias a Marcel, a Qualcomm, ... gracias a
todos por compartir su codigo, su documentaci=F3n y sus correos. Gracias
por compartir su "bluetooth linux live".
