Mark,

Do you know what the real range of Bluetooth will actually be?

Just wondering if it would be useable for some other ideas ;-)

I agree! Wonder if it will "arrive" this year.

True, these are really 2 different things though. 802.11 a/b is a
decent
system for wireless LAN. BUT at a price!

BlueTooth is primarily a cable replacement technology (mobile phone to
PDA,
PC to Printer etc). It's short range but cheap and at the $5 a chip
level
it COULD be built into a lot of stuff.

Interesting time :)
