has its problems also. Last year at the world telecom in Hong Kong Bluetooth connectivity was a bloody nightmare. Loss of connection was a continual problem due to the high saturation of bluetooth signals. Its problem is that items need to be paired and thats ok but bluetooth is continually sending out signals to find other bluetooth compatable products. Blue tooth mice for PC consoles were rendered virtually useless. Blue tooth handsfree headsets were suffering the same problems. Anything that is wireless will have its advantages and disadvantages. Blue tooth in the home is perfect but bluetooth in an apartment complex with a high saturation of bluetooth appliances can be problematic. The real problem is that the second gen BT signals which are now implemented as standard cover a much wider area, no longer 5 meters but as much as 150 meters. By the way Blue tooth is cheaper than wireless and its use is offered free by the developers Ericsson. So the Cheap ass comment is Bull.
