I use Bluetooth all the time but quite frankly, it's terrible for Joe Average user. First you have to make your stuff "detectable", then set up a device in an elaborate process, then enter key codes on both machines, then authorize the newly paired device so you don't get prompted all the time. Then, without software like WidComm, it's very hard to do anything. And finally, devices tend to forget they are paired and you have to do the whole thing all over again. Oh, and it's dead-slow. Other than that Bluetooth is great ;)
