  1. Re:I'm not buying it. on Motorola A768 Phone Loaded With Open Source · · Score: 2, Informative

    And loads of other Motorolas - v500/525, v600, a830, a835, a920, a925, amongst others...

  2. Re:Good, Original SF Recommendations on Farscape is Back · · Score: 1

    I think you forgot to mention Peter F Hamilton with The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and Naked God. It has the depth of space opera, and hard scifi that looks good on TV.

    Yup, seems like Europe, Australia/NZ and South East Asia have a high Bluetooth penetration whereas North America is far behind.

    Most of the things on Brad Mace's wishlist are available or nearly available.

    • You can synch your contacts and appointments with a PC depending on the bluetooth phone - I don't have experience of bluetooth PDAs, but i suspect that you would be able to.
    • Camera:
      Concord Eye-Q "Go Wireless" Bluetooth Digital Camera. 2 Megapixel, 4x digital zoom, SD/MMC, 7MB internal, video clips, web cam, TV out, USB, 1.6 inch LCD (PC Bluetooth adaptor not included). Wirelessly transfer photos to a Bluetooth phone or computer.
    • bluetooth modem for PDA/Laptop - Already available
    • Entertainment centre? - Not sure what you mean by this
    • Microsoft Keyboard and mouse
      BT adaptor to make your HP printer bluetooth ready
      The bluetooth market is expanding.

    Of course, they will need to be paired, so you have to re-pair it when you change/move it.

    There are some advantages. In the UK, there will be a law where people who use mobile phones in cars will be prosecuted. Car hands-free units are usable. Bluetooth headsets are just about allowable and have the advantage of being usable away from a car as well.
