Bluetooth is to USB what 802.11b is to Ethernet or more simply put, Bluetooth is wireless USB. Perfect for short-range connection between computers, cell phones and other peripherals, Bluetooth needs a great OS to take the next step. Enter Jaguar, with a worldclass Bluetooth stack and a host of features to work with Bluetooth enabled devices. Here are the features in Jaguar, specifically designed to work with Bluetooth: Bluetooth File Exchange can transfer files peer-to-peer between two blue tooth devices. For example, I use it to copy desktop pictures to my T68i cell phone. Bluetooth System Preference controls discoverability, encryption settings, serial port mapping and control over paired devices. AddressBook can send a vCard to a Bluetooth cell phone, can place calls and display incoming call details. Bluetooth Modem support in Network preferences that lets you use a GPRS data connection to access the Internet (with required support from the carrier). iSync will sync the contents of your AddressBook contacts and iCal calendars with a supported Bluetooth phone or Palm. More information about Bluetooth at Apple can be found at the Bluetooth website. Developer information can be found at the Apple Developer Connection site.   [Ken Bereskin's Radio Weblog] 4:39:37 PM    comment []

Saturday morning dawns bright and sunny, and in a couple of hours the clouds move in and it's cool. A good morning to stay in and that's exactly what we're not going to do. It's off to the Lodo Loft Tour. http://www.lodo.org 9:27:01 AM    comment []
