Treo Bluetooth Bounty Efforts Unsuccessful

Posted by timothy on from the born-to-lose dept.

UberGeek28 writes "The development effort pushed by TreoCentral (previously discussed on /. here) seems to have failed. After raising a bounty of $5,812 for the first developer to meet the requirements of a working Bluetooth driver for PalmOS 5.0 with the Treo 600 in mind, no developer has come forward to claim it. The official word has come here. Maybe another effort with wider impact could succeed where this one failed?"

    That is some good pay man, and in view of all that whinging on /. sometimes I really wonder why no one took up that offer.

    Anyway why are they still bothering with OS5? I thought OS6 is already coming soon? They might as well save the $ for the new OS.

    Oh, surely I can't be the only person that read "Beotooth"

    Maybe not, but I'll bet it was close. And don't call me surely.
