It is and is not, having an option that sends by email could also
have a plug-in that sends by bluetooth. I think you see this on
Outlooks plug-ins for syncing your palm.

Oh!! That would be so very nice. :-)

Actually, it already IS very nice. If you have a laptop running OOo
sitting next to a PDA, and both devices have Bluetooth hardware and
drivers, they can and likely will form an ad-hoc network. Hit File ->
Save As and you have the option (in Windows) of saving to a network
drive. The PDA should appear as a folder or drive that you can save to
no different than saving to your hard drive.
If I wanted to, I could save a file to my digital camera or to a memory
card sitting in the card reader of my multi-function printer via the
wireless network. The only question is whether the device at the other
end would know what to do with it when it got there. For that you would
need some version of OOo that runs on the PDA. Otherwise, it's just a
file sitting there that it can't open.

Yes is true, but this is an automation issue, I mean you are not really
innovating the whole work space by saving the guy time to open a new email
click on add-attachment.
Is more like a toy as it saves you those extra steps. Another cool thing
with OOo is similar to the phishing going on in Konqueror where it
understands more than http and can do different protocols such as mount
etc.
OOo has an http address bar (Open URL) it could be used to open also ssh,
ftp, and things like that. Gnome can do that under gnomevfs-mount:
