This looks suspiciously like the TDK clip-on, which is actually the Tactel design that they've licensed. Is it the same product?

Clie already has a bluetooth adapter which is small and light. It sells for $130 in Japan sin 6/29. Someone has tried successfully to use it with Ericson T39.

Its not a question of room but of price. The price would push it beyond the mid-range market they're aiming that unit for. At least for right now. Maybe a year or two down the road when it won't cost as much to build in bluetooth.

Well if its true that the m125 has an SD slot, there is no reason why it can't use the forthcoming SD Bluetooth card. You lose the SD slot for storage but those are the kind of tradeoffs you make with midrange products.

Bluetooth chips are available in quantity for around $10 a chip. I think that, as usual, those of us who want to adopt the technology as soon as possible are getting stung.
