RIM Crippling BlackBerry Bluetooth Speed?

Alex King writes " I organized a bounty for the creation of a 'BlackBerry as a modem' solution for Mac OS X earlier this year. The resulting product — Pulse, from Brain Murmurs — allows you to use your BlackBerry as a standard Bluetooth modem. It works great on both Windows and Mac. Current problem: The Pulse solution doesn't run as fast as it used to. Brain Murmurs did a bunch of testing and working with their users and found the problem: RIM has crippled the Bluetooth speeds in recent OS upgrades. Is this a 'mistake' on RIM's side that will be fixed? Or did they do this on purpose for some reason?"

Re:Perhaps ask RIM what the problem is?

I wonder how many could pull out a speculum (I learned in the 7th grade in Texas in Sex Ed class in 1980 what a speculum was... I think not many states at that time exposed kids to speculums, IUDs, and condoms....) OR a frackin' LASER BEAM out....

I bet some of the Japan Slashdot stuff, if translated to eigo-wa, would be esoteric, but interesting. Hey, Slash, how's about it? I'm a Japanophile with very inferior Nihongo skills. But, I'd LOVE to read the local J-Slash pages. That might be more fruitful for some of us than using Bablefish, or reading trollish articles...

(ducking, as red laser beam sweeps overhead, dancing about my room... "yee--yoong, yooong", threatening retina-detaching maneuvers on my part...)
