Re: [BAWUG] Bluetooth, anyone?

[S Woodside]

My suspicion is the support on PCs/laptops (aside from apple) is still very limited, because microsoft didn't even put it into the OS toolkit until just very recently (or is it soon? I can't remember). My impression is that bluetooth "works" now but the apps are still severely limited. The profiles are cool but for example, the apple API only implements a tiny set of them.

to me it seems like the early wifi days when apple rolled out airport that worked because they controlled the hardware, the OS, and sold the basestations. The others will be along eventually but right now it's pretty spotty in terms of what it works with.

I'd like to know what you find (esp on linux)
