Converting the KT3(W) to a network or standalone computer ?

Hello everyone, I am wondering if the new Kindle 8 could be used as a small computer...

Either a standalone computer :
- using the bluetooth controller on the KT3 to connect a bluetooth keyboard...
- using the Wifi for lan or Internet access
- using the screen as an alphanumeric terminal at first (GUI not needed), so as to run command line tools like plain text editors, mailers, compilers/interpreters...

or even just a remote terminal :
- bluetooth keyboard and nice e-ink display as above
- terminal software and ssh client to remotely work on server kept at home

I'd love it... :p

so, a first question is : does the bluetooth controller on the KT3 support other profiles than the audio one ? (introduced in this 8th generation for Amazon's VoiceView)

Thanks to anyone who can make the ball rolling... :thumbsup:
