Bluetooth is actually good. It actually works. But somehow... I just can't figure out how the BT device manufacturers end up messing it up!

Personally, I thought this was the best upgrade to the 39xx series Ipaqs. I got them all the time on my 38xx. Not any longer. I don't know if it's the new processor or a better implementation of the standard, but I know I don't get it at all any more.

I'm still wondering why Nokia was part of the original group of SIG members, but seems to put little effort in getting GSM/BT phones to market.
Does that mean that with a Bluetooth SD card, I can connect to a Bluetooth WLAN, a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, a Bluetooth Keyboard, and a Bluetooth printer all at the same time? 8O Now THAT would be something! If so, the Toshiba Bluetooth SD card is on my shopping list!
Yes.
From my undertanding and experence this is not true. I have a LOOX 600 and an Ericsson T68i, I keep my LOOX connected to my T68i all the time to have GPRS. When I try other programs that want to connect to my phone (some that I tried was some programs that would read the sms messages of my cell and display on my PDA, read the singal stregnth from the phone and display on my PDA) would not allow me to have my data connection to my phone and run these other programs to allow me to check stats of my phone at the same time. When I started the program it would close my data connection.
I realy hope that this is possible, I would reather use the new BT GPS then my current CF card GPS. But I would need my PDA to be able to talk to the GPS and my cell phone at the same time. I would like it even better if I could also use the BT headset for my phone at he same time.
If there are any BT genius out there that have done this or know of some one doing this please, please, please let me know.
I read a while back (sorry, I forget where ) a discussion where the developer of the Bluetooth stack for the LOOX stated that they purposely did not enable this piece of the Bluetooth standard. It will only handle one connection at a time.
Sounds like HP did a better (or at least more complete :lol: ) job.

Bluetooth Uses
Bluetooth is a very flexible technology that allows for the transmission of data in a variety of methods called “profiles”. There are four basic profiles and nine user profiles. The user profiles often use and then expand on the basic profiles.
There are a number of additional profiles listed on the Bluetooth Dev Specifications web site
Microsoft uses the Human Interface Device (HID) profile. There are 8 or 9 other profiles listed and most of these are built on top of the existing v.1.1 basic and user profiles.
You are indeed correct. Thanks for catching an oversight on my behalf. The information has been updated.

Well, you're using a Loox - well known for a BT implementation that is totally pants - so it might not be possible.
But it definitely works with an iPAQ 3970, Emtac BT GPS and Ericsson T39m. I can use the GPS while I'm on the Net via GPRS
I thought that I read an article about the new Minis being equipped with Bluetooth - can anyone confirm?
Very nice job Chris. A lot of people can/might learn something from your article.
Could not found the Bluetooth info you refer to that quickly, but i did found the iPAQ SatNav system for the BMW MINI Cooper http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/mini.asp
Available Bluetooth Products: PDAs, Keyboards, Bluetooth-GPS Solutions, Mobile Phones, SDIO Cards etc. plus Bluetooth and (not Versus) Wi-Fi (802.11), Bluetooth to Step Up to Mass Production Stage in 2003, A close look at the Bluetooth market and Chipmakers pursue Bluetooth price cuts http://discussion.brighthand.com/sho...threadid=71052

The Fujitsu Loox is the only PDA on the market which uses Rappore's Bluetooth Software. Why is the Bluetooth implementation "totally pants" Hollis? Am very curious?

This is possible. The only problem is that the bluetooth chip used in cell phones can only handle one connection at a time. Your PPC can handle (I think) 7 and your PC more than 200.
Personally I love Bluetooth. I have my T68i connected to my PC from which I can control ALL settings, synchronise my contacts, calendar and tasks to it. I also have a plug-in for Outlook which allows me to send/check SMS automatically. Any contacts I reply to are also put in to my contacts.
Also allows me to sit in my Living Room, surf the net wirelessly or browse my shares on my network.
Away from home, I can use my PPC as a cell phone using a headset. Use it to dial-up to my ISP wirelessly or connect to GPS.
Certainly made my life easier!
Unfortunately, there are glitches, the software seems to be less than ideal.
