Red face Bluetooth please!!!

Please implement Bluetooth in Mac OS X and the Apple hardware. I know there were reports of potential interference b/w Bluetooth and AirPort, but the following study showed that these reports are actually untrue...

Apple should indeed embrace Bluetooth, and set itself, once again, as the technical leader in the PC industry.

OMG you dont know what BT is ????
Bluetooth is a "wireless" technology, that is used to pair up devices for use, so you can send data back and forth between devices wirelessly (kinda like Ir in a way, but you do not need line of sight).

BT has been implemented in PDAs and cell phones so they can talk with other PDAs, phones and their peripheral.s

I would love to see BT keyboards and mice

Bluetooth is not that popular in the US yet, but in Europe there are many Bluetooth enabled cellular phones and PDAs. The implication is that by having a BT enabled cellphone, I can wireless surf the web using the cellphone by connecting to it using BT. Also I would be able to sync my Palm using BT - no cradle, no IR. Also, syncing between the phone and the PDA would be possible. It's really a cool technology. I am going to Australia for grad school in three months and I'd love to use the Ericsson T39 to surf the web on my Apple laptop.

I know what bluetooth is. I'm just saying that it is way overhyped and it is hardly used at all in anything yet.
