Phongshader,

From what I've read on the Palm programming sites, there should be no problems. I've just picked up a Treo650 myself. I'll be working on the BT support for the Palm applications in the coming days, and will post results here.

"General Access Profile, Service Discovery Profile and Serial Port Profile are supported by the Cordless Serial Adapter. Most mobile phones do not support the protocols required to communicate with the CSA."

I guess it's all theoretical at this point until you get one but can you program a bluetooth interface independent of the one provided with the treo? That is one that will recognize the CSA (cordless serial adapter) listed on http://www.megamanual.com/com/bluetooth.html ?

From reading the Palm programming documentation, I see no limitation with the Treo Bluetooth capabilities. There's also reports of Treo owners using their devices to control telescopes using the same serial-bluetooth devices we are using. The only problems I expect are due to my lack of programming skills as opposed to hardware capability. As you say, though, it's all theoretical until the testing is done. Don't give away that Treo just yet!

Just a brief note to say the Treo650 with BlueTooth connection to MS ran PalmLog successfully for the first time last night. I still need to finish BT-enabling all the other features, but a release will be soon.

I have the iogear and the pda can easy find it. Also my phones can find it. http://www.iogear.com/product/GBS301/

I know that Roger is getting one of these as well.

Great news Roger. My biggest problem at the moment is trying to read these forums, looks like Win98 has to go...plus the $7.00 Bluetooth dongle I bought for the PC USB port has software that will not run on Win98 (bluesoleil), but the RS232 to Bluetooth unit for MS appears to be ready to go, thats the main thing!

Awesome work guys!! I'm very interested in picking up a PDA phone with bluetooth after reading this.

Does your Treo650 have the serial comm capability? Would a PDA phone without the universal connector work fine with the Bluetooth despite not being able to connect with a cable? I'm interested in the Centro... not sure if that has the universal connector or not.

Do you think this adaptor will work?

Has the new bluetooth enabled Palmlog been released yet?

Not yet. Roger is very busy at the time, but he have made some progress. He have made the palmlog working with the bluetooth connection. I have a copy of it and it logs fine, a bit slow screen update, but I thing that can be better in time.
Still have some problems sending the log to megatune!

Has this been released yet for use with a Palm TungstenE2 with Bluetooth? I'd like to be able to tune my VE tables with one.

Sorry, but the BT project is way back on my priority list. Source is available to any that want to keep the development going.

is this project still breathing?

any news on this?
