Hi Holger,

We have sponsored packaging of KDE SC 4.10 for Debian 7 (will appear in 
backports) and on top of this we will be producing installable Plasma Active 
packages. So this is coming.

Now you are asking for things no other OS currently can do :) But that's ok: 
we're working on exactly this set of features for Plasma Workspaces 2, which a 
future release of Plasma Active will be based on.

As for things like bluetooth, we do have bluetooth support from Bluedevil, 
though it comes down to drivers and most importantly user testing. You can 
help there! :)

GPS: similarly, we have Marble that can and does use GPS where available, but 
it requires drivers for the device and user testing. Again, you can help there 
:)

Rotation: we have a basic rotation system for Plasma Active 4. It's not 
perfect, however; we need to move off of X11 for the base graphics system. When 
we move to Wayland, something we are working on right now, then we can 
implement a proper rotation system. Don't fear: X11 *applications* will still 
work in such an environment just fine.

Cheers ..
