I also would like beaming reception to be based on the data type, not the
app, and couldn't figure out how to make it work. In my case I was beaming
entities of type message/rfc822.
I didn't try my utmost to figure out if I was doing something wrong. I was
trying to beam the message with only the MIME type and no app specified and
it didn't work. I hope someone will enlighten us on what we've missed!
It would really be good for beaming to work based on data types and not on
app ids. It would be even better if it worked across OS's and platforms. I
think some of that is in there, but I'm not sure what. This is sort of a
Moore's Law thing. If every phone, PDA and PC beamed addresses the same way
it would be very valuable. Maybe we could think of beaming of MIME objects
like we think of HTTP on the Internet for transferring MIME objects --
there's a universal standard everybody uses.
