I agree with Reg - that's crazy!! We were recently on a group tour - several laptops and many cameras. Bluetooth was the easy way for us to download our photos onto our laptops, swap photos between ourselves etc. My other half had just bought a sub $200 nokia with a 2MP camera and this could do all this with ease - if this is beyond the capabilities of the iPhone then that's a BIG negative in my book.
I also don't buy the hacking excuse - bluetooth comms are built into every Apple laptop/desktop is this a huge security hole? If not, given that the iPhone runs an OSX version, why can't the security be comparable to the laptop? Just my 5c worth! Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
