Bluetooth Way back in November 2001, Red-M released the Blade Bluetooth Springboard Module for Visor. I got one right away, thinking it was going to be really useful. Unfortunately, there was nothing available at the time for it to pair with. It was the sound of one hand shaking. When the D-Link Bluetooth Adapter became available, I got one of them immediately, thinking I had found the perfect mate for my Blade. Surely I was only moments away from a wireless hot-sync, at the very least (oh behave!) My interest in Bluetooth was rekindled when I saw Drag'n'tooth pop up on Versiontracker today. Drag'n'tooth uploads Palm files using Bluetooth. I was able to successfully pair my Visor/Blade combo with the D-Link adapter plugged into my PowerBook, but that's as far as it got. No hot sync, no Drag'n'tooth - no joy. Visited the Red-M website to look for an updated driver, but they apparently sell only software and access points now. $500 for a really slow access point?? There certainly is no point in trying to contact Red-M for support, as I've tried this before - no response. I understand that many people are enjoying their Sony-Ericsson T68i with iSync, but not having a T68 or Palm Tungsten makes the whole Bluetooth experience disappointing. 11:28:06 PM
