The nice thing about the BT (on the PDAs) is that consumes less energy than the wifi.

Note that in the case of the Axim X51v there is a broadcom-bt-stack replacement project (on aximsite.com) but I it does not work for me , -I have the dlink BT AP.

However, it still is more compatible than other BT APs in the market. But of course, this comes at a steeper price.

It shouldn't cost more than $100.

BT actually rebranded/named themselves to BT a few years ago... so look at this page

It's talking about BT hubs and such, but not the ones you guys are ;-) Fri, 18 May 2007 11:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (memson) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?241462 http://osnews.com/thread?241462 BT is how Bluetooth is called for short amongst geeks. And this is a geek site, not a UK site, and the article is about Bluetooth in the first place (I am more careful how I abbreviate it when the article/post is not about Bluetooth). Get used to it please.
Even in two of my screenshots the UI people of their respective companies called Bluetooth as BT (the Windows and M600i shots).Edited 2007-05-18 12:10 Fri, 18 May 2007 11:55:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Eugenia) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?241477 http://osnews.com/thread?241477 Hey look, BT the company (as in bt.com) were pretty stupid in naming themselves as such. They win no prizes. But BT is synonymous with them in the UK. What can you do? I personally think that they should have kept the name "British Telecom"... oh, well.
