The PAN is starting up..
Check it out:
The Hopbit. A Bluetooth-enabled 5GB hard drive Toshiba. The Hopbit is about the size of an iPod and can connect wirelessly to Bluetooth-enabled handhelds and digital cameras. It's a great idea. It means you can have access to tons of music, movies, etc on your Palm or Pocket PC while your Hopbit is in your bag or just somewhere nearby. The only problem is, as Jason Dunn over at PocketPCThoughts points out, is that the bandwidth of Bluetooth (just 768 kbps) is just too pitifully small for moving big files around quickly. However that is just enough to stream most audio and video, which is what I suspect a good many people would use the Hopbit for. Only available in Japan in the moment, but hopefully it will hit the US sometime early next year. Read [Via PocketPCThoughts]... [Gizmodo]
So you can now stream from your camera to a local storage drive, so long as you have a bluetooth card. I suppose the next brak will come when we see low priced ($25.00) compact flash bluetooth cards that you can slip into your cameras.
