Default Bluetooth SIG Announce New TransSend Capability

http://www.extremetech.com/article2...2129TX1K0000532

"...the Bluetooth SIG... announced the release of a new version of the technology, called 'TransSend'... the free client/server application will allow content such as maps, phone numbers, address cards or other text and image-based data from the web to be transmitted directly to a specific user's phone or PDA with one click."

The initial scope of "TransSend"-able content will be limited, but I personally like the concept behind TransSend. There has been many times in the past where I needed to get some quick information into my PDA, but wasn't enthused with having to establish an AS connection, copying and pasting content into a file (or saving the image to my HDD first), and then copying the file to the device via AS explorer. This could save some time by simplifying the process. Thoughts anyone?

This doesn't seem different than a more advanced syncing application/server. However, I do prefer to have a standard way across operting systems that support the transsend profile where applications can "export data to transsend" rather than having a single sync app (e.g. iSync, ActiveSync) using their proprietary closed formats and such. The problem is though that third party applications must update themselves to support transsend (e.g. OE, Thunderbird), while in the sync-application way only the sync app needs to be updated. From one side you gain cross-platformness and access to a variety of data, on the other side it can take years before apps decide to support this profile even if the host OS supports the profile.
