Re: DSLR future wish-list

OK, so I am out of date here. When I first heard of bluetooth there were things 
like connection to the coke machine, atm, etc. Seems I like the first info was 
kind of exagerated as usual. I had not checked up on it since because I felt no 
need for it. So I guess I was wrong about just what it is.

the consumer devices are there, my cel-phone has it, but the devices it

Hmmm... it sounds to me like you're mixing things up here. Bluetooth
is not infrared. It is a replacement for infrared; connecting your own
different devices faster then IR and without the line-of-sight limitation
of IR. 

You don't need any installation in the area, like cell phone service and
WiFi. Bluetooth connects *your* PDA with *your* cell phone with *your*
wireless headset. Bluetooth does not connect your devices to any outside
network. So if all the consumer devices have it, it's only to start using
it.
