Bluetooth Is Cool

09-28-2005 Bluetooth Is Cool

After learning my Treo 650 does not support Dial-Up Networking (DUN) I initially felt robbed. All I had to do with my 7135 was hookup the data cable and my phone became a high-speed modem. Then I found this article which lead to this site that had the hack to enable DUN on the Treo. Not only did it give me back my high-speed modem, but thanks to Bluetooth it did away with the cord as well. Now I just need my phone near my laptop to connect to the internet at 150k anywhere I have phone service. I admit this isn't the most exciting thing on the planet, but right now it's pretty high up there for me.

Blue tooth is amazing, Did you know it's a radio frequency that "hops" basically every 10th of a millisecond the frequency changes 100's of times so if there was some interference with another frequency say a wireless network, or phone, the user wouldn't even notice the conflict.
