we use bluetooth here to link laptops up to the net via mobiles for meetings
where there is no net connection.


Basically
    Laptop via Bluetooth talks to the phone
    Phone uses GPRS to connect to the net
    et voila

dave,

does bluetooth give any web access in its PAN?
I guess lets say you had a wireless device with internet access
and bluetooth on it as well, could a pda within that
PAN get out to the web to, lets say, get email?

thanks.

I don't know that it's a dumb question, but Bluetooth is just a way to get
devices to talk to each other - to build a "personal area network" if you
like. I use Bluetooth all the time, but it's really just a transport
mechanism, and CF doesn't have anything to do with it.
