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

"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.).

You can also setup a Piconet with Bluetooth.

Being able to plant a virus on a phone is not the fault of bluetooth. It's
the fault of the phone designers who let java stuff to be downloaded onto a
phone.
