Hacking Bluetooth, Mp3, Video, and Web browsing.

Hi Im justin and I just signed up for this site. Ive been coming here to get all my switch hacking news because you guys seem to know what your talking about and have your ear to the ground when it comes to the hacking scene.

Ever since I got my switch some things have been bothering me. Why is there no support for bluetooth headphones? Why no video or mp3 playback? Seems like a must have for a portable system. Why cant I browse the web? All these things seem to come standard now a days but nintendo has always marched to the beat of there own drummer so it doesnt really suprise me. My question is this. With the introduction of cfw will we see bluetooth support and web browsing integrated? Could we see a mp3/video player app? Would really love to get more use out of my switch but nintendo just doesnt get that.

Both PSP and Vita were able to do these things, as Sony's generally focused more on multimedia in the past than Nintendo. It seems Nintendo hasn't decided to introduce the internet browser on Switch as a feature, because they know it could be used as an entrypoint for a software exploit (which it obviously has already). Personally, I feel that Nintendo should embrace the multimedia capabilities of their consoles as well, but they still seem to be generally fixated on having their devices focus almost exclusively on game software. But hey, who knows what hobbyist/homebrew developers might produce?

Ask Nintendo?

EDIT: This also have nothing to do with exploits, hacking or anything other related to the topic.

Why is there no support for bluetooth headphones?/QUOTE]
IIRC, it's because it'll interfere with the bluetooth connection of the joycons.

Considering the bluetooth unit on the switch can support 8 controllers simultaneously i figured it might be able to support both if programmed right but im no programmer. I mean the joycons dont interfere with other joycons so why would the interfere with other bluetooth devices? Also linuxares im asking about possible results of the exploits and hacking of the switch.... seems like it has something to do with it to me. I could be wrong like I said im new but your the only one complaining. And you seem to be answering rhetorical questions instead of focusing on the point of the post...... im tempted to say you didnt read it all the way through.

I think one of the main differences between the likes of $ony and NIN are that they always seem to have different priorities when it comes to features on their devices. $ony tend to offer more options for multimedia and peripherals because they have divisions dedicated to A/V so for them it's more of a focus whereas I've always thought NIN are more about the core gaming and nothing else.
