It certainly would be very cool to do, and I'm sure our customers would love it, but I doubt they would be willing to pay for it. I would imagine adding BT capability to our hardware would easily quadruple our hardware cost. (Current costs are in the $20 range) Though I have not looked into BT chipset costs....
Most of our customers go with the cheapest Palms they can get their hands on and aren't going to spring for a BT model. On top of that, one of our products use non standard RS232... If we had more of a high end, high volume product, it would certainly be a viable option.. Does BT on the Palm not have the buffer delay bug? -Mike "Peter Easton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi Mike, > > Not meaning to belittle your problems, but have you considered moving your > hardware to use Bluetooth instead of RS-232?
