I think the 802.11b and Bluetooth will become a VHS vs. Betamax battle, with
Bluetooth well in the driving seat at present. Anyone disagree?


I disagree. They are apples and oranges. Wireless is for networking
and Bluetooth for connectivity. Both are useful, but they are for very
different purposes. More info he

"Wired" magazine has an interesting article in the current issue about
the vulnerabilities of Bluetooth. Pretty easy to steal data from or
plant viruses on Bluetooth devices (phones, pda's, etc.).
