Question

If you have something like an iPaq with Bluetooth, how many devices can attach at the same time?

For instance having a Bluetooth Headset and a Bluetooth Phone in use at the same time both talking ot the iPaq...

Or is it one device at a time only?

apparently bluetooth can support 255 connections, but in practise you can only connect to one device at any one time.

The current implemention only reliably supports a single connection - the techies talked me through it in detail and it's something to do with Bluetooth being a serial connection not a paralell connection.

Well thats a bit silly & somewhat stupid but never mind

Prehaps future versions will? Missing an opportunity somewhere.

Thanks for the enlightenment

I take it the term 'specialise in flogging' is a technical term!

I specialise in flogging anything that I get paid on!! In reality I spend most of my time selling storage, servers PC's and bringing in the relevant consulting groups as needed.

There's a fair few Compaq people on this forum, there's me, GregH, Neil (the moderator) and a couple of other people.
