I have a palm Tungsten E and I love reading E-Books on it.

it's bloody useless in bright light though isn't it... that Palm colour display is great indoors out of direct sunshine or at night, but is absolutely useless when you take it into bright light... even with the BLOFF (backlight off) utility, it's damn near impossible to read it if you're in the sunshine... and at night, when you're trying to do serious stuff like astronomy, it's too damn bright at the normal minimum

Nothing new... just use any BT PDA or PC with MeetingPoint http://www.net-cell.com/mp

Does that mean trippling of the range??? I'd sure appreciate a fetaure like that... Here're some bluejacking links. Also, great general bluetooth info on the WebLogsInc.

Here's my favorite "Social Software"...

I use MeetingPoint and MobiLuck on my Nokia 6600.

Mobiluck is better and easier than manual bluejacking. Plus I like that app a lot. I use it when I want to choose who to pest.

Meetingpoint is in a slightly different business... it does not need ANY manual interaction, just set the message you want to send, put your cell in a pocket and walk around, automatically spamming every cell that gets close enough. Oh, and it also runs on palm, pocketpc, windows. But not linux. I keep pestering the authors to get it for my PowerBook... it has a class-1 bluetooth thing - would love to bluejack everybody whitin 300ft...

Way, way more here SocialSoftware Weblog.

Speaking of BlueJacking et al, here's a nifty little Bluetooth utility that runs on cell/PDA and can fulfill your, errr, communication needs :-)

If you are able to get past the horrible English, that is.

Sorta "Symbian Dater", but works on many OS.

Not exactly the same, but look what SonicBoy did with his Sony Clie UX-50 and Fun Cam software.
