Sorry, I kinda slapped you down, which I feel bad about, but I have to follow that wacky law thing. Anyway, thanks for reposting the links to the articles. They really are interesting and useful.

RE: Bluetooth settling into comfortable nicheI.M. Anonymous @ 1/14/2002 12:06:16 PM #
That is a nice, short, to-the-point article that describes all that I like about Bluetooth. A low cost, low power, wireless solution that eliminates line of sight issues.
When we start seeing Bluetooth built-in to various devices, it is going to provide all kinds of neat ad-hoc setups. My only fear is still that is runs on the same frequency as 802.11b. I can just see the network management folks in this building saying that Bluetooth devices are not allowed for that reason. RE: Bluetooth settling into comfortable niche
Actually, they've tested Bluetooth and 802.11b running together and due to their adaptive frequency jumping and synchronization schemes there've been no problems whatsoever. I can't remember the exact link but I'm sure I read the info from here.
----- Sir-Tez Sir Tez IT is a rough life RE: Bluetooth settling into comfortable niche
I actually have in my home, a 802.11b network running as well as using my Bluetooth'd T29 World phone with my laptop. I'm encountering no problems, and my laptop has my Xircom BT card right under my 802.11b card.
RE: Bluetooth settling into comfortable nicheI.M. Anonymous @ 1/14/2002 7:44:08 PM #
I have a Netgear 802.11 base station and a T39 phone, plus a Bluemod (www.hcvwireless.com) plus a few other undisclosed bit and pieces... all works great together... :-)
i705 Bluetooth enabled?
If Palm is pushing Bluetooth such as it is, I suspect that the upcoming i705 is going to have Bluetooth built-in. This may also explain why the device was delayed.
RE: i705 Bluetooth enabled?
Foo Fighter! Is that you over on the 'Buzz forums? If only this rumor were true. If it is, then that would hopefully mean that Palm is back in the saddle (of innovation, that is).
I want my bluetoothI.M. Anonymous @ 1/15/2002 1:29:20 AM #
I'm sick of waiting for Palm to launch the Bluetooth product. I've seen the pics of the SD card... now when are they going to come with the product? The idea of hotsyncing without using the cradel is very attractive to me and I'd love it if the palm would talk to an Ericsson T68 or whatever to help me get on the net... when is it coming???
Sony Bluetooth ModuleI.M. Anonymous @ 1/15/2002 9:36:17 PM #
When are Sony going to get off their backsides and release the Bluetooth clip-on module for Clie (PEGA-N700) outside of Japan. Do they think the rest of us won't use Bluetooth?
I was going to wait for the "InfoStick" Bluetooth Memory Stick but would prefer the clip-on module as it keeps the Memory Stick slot free (Even though the module is a bit chunky). Even the Bluetooth Memory Stick was announced over a year ago... Ben Starr
