Should We Give Up On Bluetooth?

Audent asks: "I've been reading (and writing) about 'Bluetooth ^[?] Coming Soon!' for what seems like years now... Is it time to give up? Where are the products? Where are the new devices that promise piconetworks and the like? And what about the risks from having an entire network of Bluetoothed devices beaming around this already saturated office of mine (100 people plus PCs plus printers, scanners, laptops, palmtops, cellphones times Bluetooth equals...?) I know they run on the same band as microwave ovens (2.4GHz) but they won't interfere with each other but are we all going to be cooked by these tiny chips? Or will Bluetooth take off in the way USB did once the first products came out in commercial quantities?" Bluetooth sounds great on paper, but have life's realities proven too much in terms of getting working implementations out of the door?
