Default Mobile Community Radio Broadcast: Bluetooth Show

http://www.computeroutlookrts.com


"The next "Mobile Community" show broadcast will be on Monday June 14th at 6pm PST! The Las Vegas radio station is KLAV and the Internet broadcast is located at http://www.computeroutlookrts.com The listening image link is on the upper left hand corner throughout the site. The shows are also archived for repeat listening or for referring to.

The Monday "Mobile Community" broadcast will feature David Shier, a Microsoft Mobile Devices MVP and Bluetooth expert, who runs the Bluetooth News site and a Mobile Community in Orange County, California. Bluetooth has been booming these days; the latest and greatest mobile devices are nearly all planned to be equipped with it. David will discuss the P's of Bluetooth and beyond: Pocket PCs, phones/phone headsets, pairing and printing. David will enlighten us with his expert vision of the future of Bluetooth as well. The broadcast's host, John Iasiuolo, will be accompanied by the following moderators: Qman of the Las Vegas Mobile Community and San Francisco Mobile Community Managers/Microsoft Mobile MVPs: Shawna Kelly and Rey Flores. You can also interact in the chat room. The shows should become more and more mobile community involved and interactive on every 2nd Monday of the month!"


Bluetooth has been described as being really swell, dead and just plain unusable. My guess is that the truth is somewhere in between. Bluetooth Guru David Shier will now be taking a stab (on live radio, no less) at de-mystifying Bluetooth for the masses.

The Mobile Community show has been growing at a good clip - it's now heard in 11 countries in addition to the Internet audience, and has an average headcount of 10,000 listeners per show. Not too shabby by any measure! If you've got questions about Bluetooth and what it can do for you, make sure you check out the live show and ask questions. If you can't tune in at 6pm PST, you can always plug into the archived show for edification at your leisure.

What an unusual combination of attributes. Microsoft and bluetooth expert. I always thought that was an oxymoron....

Well many people think I just lack the "oxy" part. :lol:

Actually, Microsoft is back in the Bluetooth game. They are now providing their own Bluetooth stacks for both Pocket PC and Windows XP. Like most others, unfortunaely, they still haven't got it right yet, but I think they're headed in the right direction anyway.

As you have an inside line to MS, do you have any idea when they will implement the full range of profiles, even if they dont do them well? At least manufactures can then start designing to MS's errors, like they do on the web.

You can see I'm a bit bitter, as I have an XDA2. Love the phone, hate the MS stack, which has only 2 profiles, out of about at least 9 that are generally available.

Apparently they are doing the same nonsense on the desktop, replacing perfectly good widdcom stacks with their own very incomplete specification with the Sp2 update.

I need a link that will work with WMP for PPC on an Axim X30 with WM2003SE, I can't see the play link in PIE on my device! I'm using Bluetooth over a gprs connection.

Don't Panic!

Thanks Pat, that's the link but I'm only pulling teens to low twenty baudrate tonight so the buffering is to much. I get the make sure your connected to network or modem popup then it dies I did get to hear Shawna though so i've added it to my WMP for PPC web favorites list for when I have a better connection. Are the archive files WMP 4 PPC compatible?

If anyones listening live on radio ask them if 20k streams are the future for Bluetooth please. (check www.di.fm for a 20k stream).

Don't Panic!

Bluetooth is dead easy to use except on the two PocketPCs that I own(ed). Palm got it right with T3, Ericsson has been doing it for 4 years...why can't Microsoft?
