I think I would have to say (reluctantly, however) that I agree with the
above... In fact, my next phone will have BlueTooth (If ever I get it) :-)
and my next computer, so BlueTooth would be more important to me in the
end...
However, I was hoping that a USB solution would be able to provide
bootstrapping to get a Newton to connect with a computer that lacked serial
ports, and also to be compat. With X and XP...
Has anybody been writing software like Nsync or Escale for Windows XP? I
don't use Win, so don't know... Is something like that needed for Windows?
Any thoughts on this?
