my history teacher calls it a "created necessity". :) but seriously, imagine browsing through GPRS, sending and receiving SMS with your Zaurus in your hand and your phone in your bag. with a BT USB module for your desktop, you can connect your home devices in a "wireless lan". you've got to try it to appreciate it. hehehe.
pero personally, i think BT costs too much right now for its benefits. i find myself chickening out of spending that much of my own money for something as Doc Mana says, you can do with the little more inconvenience of having to align IR ports. now if it's somebody else's money, like the company's, it would be a totally different thing. --vince. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pablo Manalastas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 9:27 AM Subject: Re: [plug] [LONG] Bluetooth and GPRS on the iPAQ > On Wed, 23 Oct 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I am interested on how this goes -- am planning to get a BT CF card for > > my Zaurus to connect to my 7650. > > Without buying any accessories, your Zaurus SL-5500 can already > talk to your Nokia 7650 via IrDA.
