802.11 vs Bluetooth

It is not really about one technology over another, but that the two technologies will integrate bluetooth being the personal network that connects to the wireless network.

When are they gonna allow us to highlight something on our pda and beam it to another device as keystrokes.

If they every sit down and add encryption to bt... it would be nice to use it as a keychain - 1 master password, multiple password.

Now *that* it a keen idea!

I'd also be happy to beam selected text just as text! (Instead of an entire Memo...)

It could probably be implemented as a tap+hold feature for selected text. Its an idea and i would pay $5 for it - any developers listening ……

Bluetooth has encryption, that's what the PIN is for.

There are a few existing shared clipboard applications already out there. You might want to take a look at those.

I am using BT for some time, connecting my PDA (Palm T|T) to my mobile phone (Nokia 6310i).
That was one reason to buy them. And I wouldn't give them up because of BT.

Looking forward to any improvement on this.

How about speed? Has there been any improvement on transfer rate?
