- Somehow, I don't think this is much of a problem...

Depending on the phone, most Bluetooth devices have two modes of operation - discoverable all the time and discoverable for a short amount of time.
Those devices in the latter catagory - that aren't discoverable all the time - probably won't see any of this advertising. The only time you put your phone (or other BT device) into discoverable mode is when you're pairing the phone up with a headset or a BT dongle on your laptop. This would be most of the devices made currently.
Devices that fall into the discoverable all the time catagory would be older devices - such as my old Palm T2 - where you have a check box that tells it to be discoverable all the time.
So I don't see how this technology makes any real sense, let alone any sort of impact - unless these advertisers have found a way to hack through it all. And that would not be a good thing. - Posted by: Wolfie2K3 Posted on: 09/17/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
