Hi rontol, welcome to Hypography!

I have not used bluetooth much but I think it's a promising technology. What I used it for was to surf the net with a laptop and a GSM mobile phone while on holiday this summer. It worked flawlessly for me so I only have good experiences with it.

Basically it is just a short range wireless communication system for interaction between devices, so that computers and peripherals, for example, can communicate using standard protocols without the need for wires.

anyone heard of Bluetooth sniping? They use a modified sniper rifle to 'shoot' Bluetooth signals up to a mile away.

that means that bluetooth is just about as insecure as wireless used to be when it came out.

Yes, like a modem. And a slow modem, I have to say. I think I achieved the mindgobbling speed of 9,600 baud...

But it was fast enough to let me check my e-mail while on vacation and slow enough to make me not bother to surf the web so it was actually a good thing.

rontol, you know, you could do this for a while now, that is connect to the inet via the cellphone.
i think what is more interesting is "Voice Over IP", here's a "how stuff" link to it: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ip-telephony.htm

Hello!
Í am developing a project with Bluettoth, and I want to transfer data rates near 721kbps. I have a full-embbeded software module with SPP profile.
SPP profile especify only one-slot data paquets, and data rates up to 128kbps. Why only 128kbps?
How can I do to transfer a higher data rates?
Thanks
