Basically, Bluetooth sucks
We tried at the Intel Developer Forum in February and could only "discover" Dataquest's Andrew Norwood, great guy though he is. We couldn't even detect any Bluetooth activity during Intel's "live" demo of the groundbreaking standard. Stone the crows! A thousand geeks all together and no Bluetush.
When we were at the AMD Lateron launch in New York, we tried. A complete waste of time until a chap we know from British magazine Personal Computer World obliged by enabling his phone.
And at the System Builder Summit at the awful Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, but full of techie industry types, we tried once more. We only picked up a signal when our old mucker Tony Smith turned on his phone and enabled Bluetooth.
So therefore it comes as not much of a surprise that even the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) believes that the "standard" - named after an evil murderous Viking chieftain - isn't yet in any fit state.
As you can read here.
No wonder no-one switches on their Bluetush devices then, is it? ยต

I agree. It now sucks. I used to love this app, but the longer I have it, the more I hate it. I am all about paying for shareware, but ONLY it it has some value, like....it works 90% of the time. Not here. Suppose to sync with Mac address book. Yet, but RANDOMLY drops names. That is just the beginning. It was a good start, but not keeping up at all. Looking elsewhere. Anyone know of a great app that in under $50? Would love to know.
