I dont know what this is about, but I think Bluetooth is rubbish, I dislike it almost as much as Wi-Fi. I hope it dies, horribly.

I just cant stand technology that doesnt work. In a world of gimmick versus practical, Ill take practical. Give me Cat 5 and USB.

There are lot of usefull applications for Wifi other than home/office networking.  For example, a project that was recently demonstrated to me...

I agree bluetooth can vary on the stress meter depending on the phone.

Also, I also dont have a clue what this thread is about.  :?  :?:

Wifi granted, doesnt really work but Bluetooth does.

I find it great on my phone.  Maybe you just need a phone where its properly implimented

Well, Ive never had any real problems with it other than the odd occasion where it looses pairing or disconnects abruptly (like any good WiFiesque product seems to ), my problem is more that its slow and sh*te. Its not that much better than infra red for transfers because it is so slow and all the earpieces were crap last time I checked. Im just plain unimpressed with it is all. Poke me with a stick if need be and call be a boring sod.

Hmm, i was on about the profit margins for the company for bluetooth.

It is up 360% today in the markets and they are raking in the cash

you sound very confused first youre waffling about profits then youre on about share price

If the company youre on about goes by the ticker symbol CSR it is not up 360% today is has gone up by 16.87% today.

the obsession with blutooth on phones annoys me, it took me months to source a data cable for my old T68i because everyone looked at me blank when i asked and offered me a bluetooth dongle.  I cant wear earpieces because I cant stick anything in my ears or i start feeling sick.  Data transfer is slow and the security is next to none-existant because they say that PANs dont need it due to their low range.
