Does anyone else wonder how this will fair with Wireless USB floating about? I am glad to see it though as BT is pretty slow when it comes to data transfers.

Well they will put the spec out in third quarter of 07. And the manufacturers will take their own sweet time to apply it. And carriers will take their own sweet time releasing it to the masses. Yawn!

I think I will wait till I see a device in my hand.

BTW, the latest version of Bluetooth. What is it? I don't think any of the Smartphones have it? :?
