At the last Symbol "get together" I went to, they announced that they
were going to make the Spectrum 24 system Bluetooth enabled, as well.
Symbol tends to drag their feet on things, but you can see the
advantages there. Now, you can scan a barcode, transmit data to a
Bluetooth enabled S24 server, and send it to your phone, which transmits
it to your laser printer in Akron, which then faxes over to your Japan
branch... =)
