RE: Bluetooth settling into comfortable niche
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.

Sony Bluetooth Module
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...
