  „Belkin recently got into the Global Positioning System (GPS) game with its new Belkin Receiver, a Bluetooth GPS receiver that can connect to a Bluetooth-enabled PDA or laptop to provide navigation data to users. The receiver costs $299.99 and will begin shipping on Jan. 15, 2004, Belkin says.“

Belkin to Offer Bluetooth GPS Receiver

  „ You'd be crazy to connect a laptop to the Internet using this instead of WiFi, but Belkin has a new Bluetooth wireless access point which can be used for connecting a PDA or other Bluetooth-enabled gadgets to your local network. Has a USB print server as well.“

Acore AG-600 Bluetooth GPS Receiver Review

  „A company called Infinite Range is working on a special Bluetooth add-on for MP3 players called RangeScan that'll let you wirelessly transmit audio to a stereo. The only problem is that right now all it does is take the analog audio signal from the players headphones jack, convert into a digital stream, and then decode them back into an analog signal at the receiver, which makes something like this only slightly more useful than an FM transmitter add-on like the iTrip. There are definitely some practical uses for having wireless networking built-into an MP3 player -- like swapping files with friends or wirelessly synching with a computer -- but Bluetooth is too slow to be off much use for those purposes.“

Rantscribe - Bluejacking, Wireless technology, Bluetooth

  „This means that any wireless enabled device like a laptop or PDA for example can connect to the network. But they only operate to a maximum distance of about 150 metres, and in the case of Bluetooth, much shorter distances. Bluetooth is therefore more a device to device technology rather than device to network.“
