The same goes with Bluetooth. In case of Bluetooth, what happens? They get repeatedly asked so long as they're within the 10 m-range? Getting within 10 meters of a booth in a conference doesn't mean much in terms of user interest... > All in a nice little embedded box. You mean a laptop, or does it require any extra hardware? In my case, given it's a pretty specialized application, I'll be happy if 10 people come up to be beamed, so Pilot Install will do fine. I could indeed beam files manually, but I prefer the self-serve mode, while I can be talking to someone else. -- Luc Le Blanc -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
