Please :-) May i suggest to look at www.compusa.com and search for Bluetooth. Then try to look for the nearest store that has it. Prices <= $100. Yes, it is more expensive then 802.11. Yes, you can not do a lot with it right now, but Microsoft and Apple already claim support for Bluetooth. Yes, i know, "claim" does not mean much :-) > Until it becomes more common all we can say is > "hey FreeBSD is there ahead of the crowd" :-) Linux had Bluetooth stuff for almost a year now. Or may be even longer. People in Europe try to use Linux with Bluetooth for all sort of stuff, access points, printers, headset, phones you name it. Some even run in on iPAQ and Sharp Zaurus. Is that common for you? :-) I'm not trying to troll. You anyone wants to discuss it further, please, please, please take it off the list. thanks, max To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
