Bluetooth revisited

Last week I linked to a ZD Net opinion piece that lambasted Bluetooth, and Mike McCamon, Executive Director of Bluetooth SIG, has replied here. Berlind has also done a follow-up which boils down to this: it's a waste of time trying to use anything that doesn't support Bluetooth's Human Interface Device (HID) profile. Berlind's Dell notebook PC didn't support it, but presumably does now because he will have downloaded the driver from Dell's Web site. Of course, it would have saved a lot of bother trying to get Bluetooth to work if you'd just told us this in the first place....
