Digital Compass & JavaFX - Additional hardware through custom mods

[Jeremiah Flerchinger]

I agree that additional hardware should not be added to the default 
phone.  If people want additional hardware they should get a custom case 
with extra room to support hobby projects and build/test these expansion 
modules themselves.  If some of the modules became mainstream I could 
/eventually/ see these features added to the default configuration.
