RE: First Post
Isn't Microsoft making a much stronger case for BT support in XP SP2? IIRC, BT 1.2 will be one of the new additions to SP2 whenever it finally ships next year.

People are indeed the only component that gives capitalism its true value … freedom and democracy = living well.
Bluetooth had a simple sounding point, to know ones neighbours, to accept their thoughts and to include their rights too.

I've been looking around the site but I'm still not sure of all the benefits that Bluetooth will bring to this product. Can anyone help explain it to me? Thanks

RE: First Post
The general benefit is getting rid of wires... wherever you put a low-speed connection, you could substitute it with Bluetooth. Like traditional serial and parallel ports on desktop computers.
Smartphone + Bluetooth headset!
With this Bluetooth v1.2 it should be possible to connect your Palm/GSM combo to a Bluetooth headset, so you can use you Palm to look up things or make notes, while making a call.
Still a two piece solution, but way better!
So I am waiting for the Treo 610 (650 whatever) supporting this.

Hint, it is smallish creates numb spots when sat upon too long and contains limited space for plastic choices. Ok one last hint ladies carry these too, usually in a huge bag (purse) with their husband’s wallet too. Eh some wallets are just getting too big waiting to grow our collective global economies.
What are your thoughts?

Maybe you should stay more than 30 feet away when using BT for extended periods.

This is software, right?
Considering this is a software upgrade only, is there the possibility that these prcs and pdbs could be installed and used on a bluetooth OS5 palm to allow it access to the 1.2 stack?

RE: This is software, right? yep, but...
The part about "1.2 compliant" means that, when Bluetooth 1.2 devices go available, this SDK will be able to develop for them too.
So, looks like this has nothing to do (directly at least) with us users...
If you want compatibility with Bluetooth 1.2, you'll need (BT2 hardware + adequate firmware for it) + (drivers + protocol stack for the OS) + (BT2 supporting applications).
Now, this being a "minor" change (1.1 -> 1.2), perhaps some of the above will be able to remain unchanged. I'd expect the firmware at least to be upgraded. In the recent past, some bluetooth devices have gained new capabilities (new profiles, higher speed) just with firmware updates... though if the changes are important, they can ripple all the way up to the applications. (meaning updates needed all the way up!)

RE: This is software, right?
...but perhaps you have a point.
Anyway, only a developer can answer that, I guess.
