Posts: n/a Re: bluetooth broadcasting device An interesting idea, I especially like the sending of multimedia ads withoutthe need for pairing. Is there anything similar to this that works by using the bog-standard obex-push without needing a server on the recieving device?

The one I've looked in our article about this (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=1790) requires a client installed on the user's mobile device. And the user initiate the connection. A device that broadcasts messages as soon as a receiver comes close - without authorisation - is very SPAM for me too. -- Mauricio Freitas Handhelds, mobile: http://www.geekzone.co.nz Bluetooth guides: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=449
