Palm deploys enormous Bluetooth network; still doesn't quite know what it's for: In this balanced, technically accurate story, a reporter talks to Palm, Inc., which has just deployed what appears to be the largest Bluetooth network in the world. While Bluetooth has many complementary features to Wi-Fi, including quick access and teardown, there's an odd quote from an infrastructure engineer: "If I want to check my e-mail, it takes longer to get it on 802.11b because I have to boot up my laptop and that takes time. But with Bluetooth, I can get it right away on my Palm," says Mr. Stevenson. With a Wi-Fi card in your Palm, if such a thing existed, you could check it right away and faster, though. More sensibly, you could acquire permanent paired access to devices that allow you carry out brief, protocol-oriented tasks, like syncing. [80211b News]
