TomTom ONE with a Pocket PC

Does anyone know if it is possible to connect a TomTom ONE to a Pocket PC so that the Pocket PC can use the GPS signal for other applications?

I do not really want to buy a bluetooth GPS receiver when the TomTom is bluetooth enabled and theoretically could do the job (that and the fact that I have only just bought the TT One and it is now my 3rd GPS so I do not really want 4....)

technically this is possible. You would need to write a Linux daemon that listens to /dev/gpsdata and a Bluetooth Serial Port Profile daemon that serves that information to clients that connect via Bluetooth.

Problem is - who has the time to write that? What is the market potential?

So I am guessing that TomTom have specifically elected for this not to be possible out of the box?
