Ahhh, IrDA!!! Love it! I use it to beam items from/to my Newton, Nokia 6210
and my Pismo. For as much as I currently use my toys.... Er, tools, so far,
IrDA has sufficed. :-)
That said, my next cell phone purchase will be a BlueTooth capable phone,
and my next Powerbook will have blueTooth built in. At that time, I will be
_very_ interested in BlueTooth on my Newton, but until then, I'm stuck,
watching from the outside... :-( So, I follow Ekhart's progress with much
interest, but no possibility yet for input.
BTW, speaking of BlueTooth, on Nokia's web site, for my phone, the 6210,
Nokia claims my phone is something like BlueTooth ready, but not capable.
(or is it the other way around?) What does that mean? Is there some sort of
plug-in module I could get for this phone? If so, why hasn't my searching
for it found it? Just curious...
