Default Cool things you can do with bluetooth?

Hello. I have a Palm Tungsten T (which I love) and a bluetooth adaptor for my PC. I have done a couple things (syncing to my PC via bluetooth and controlling my PC's winamp. neato!)

anyway, what are some other cool things one can do with bluetooth? (with or without a PC with an adaptor).. i'm just getting into it, and am not sure of the capabilities, aside from what i've done so far.

thanks for any help!

surf the web!

setup your PC as a gateway to the bluetooth device. look for the thread:

http://www.wifi-forum.com/wf/showthread.php?t=34

it was pretty exciting when we finally got it to work. but then, afterwards, we are like, "ok, now what?" 480x320 isn't the best res for websurfing.

we were also sending pictures to each other. the PC interface to sending pics was pretty ok. drag-n-drop.

i am still looking for network games though. i wonder if there are networked games that allows playing between a PC and a palm.

oh.. another neat thing. for the Palm there's an app called BlueChat that lets you IM with another Palm with bluechat. kinda neat I'm looking forward to future applications...

I hope to get to a completely wireless computer setup one day... speakers, monitor, mouse, keyboard would ALL be wireless.. and you could put your CPU box in the top of your closet, for all you care...

surely it will be a very quiet setup. i can put the CPU next door and i will not hear a thing even if it squeals like crazy. haha.

but the monitor will be tough. a lot of data goes through that cable, the rest are actually all possible already!

is there a IM client for the palm for YIM or MSN?

in that case iw wouldnt have a case at all...i would just shove in all the componentd inside my airconditioner;-)
would get a hell of a performance then....just gotta make the disk viration proof!

for IM client there is 1 verichat...it makes my tungsten w hang.....

actually, a palm with only bluetooth connection isn't too useful for IM. bluetooth only goes a few feet and needs some other machine on the other end. i might as well just walk over!

your W is another different story!
