Ever since I got my Bluetooth-enabled iPAQ last Winter I've wished for some kind of instant message client for quickly and easily "talking" with other people with Bluetooth devices nearby, especially when other types of network connectivity aren't available.
Enter Colligo Personal Edition.
"At the office, offsite or wherever you convene, Colligo Personal Edition lets you communicate and share information with anyone, anytime and virtually anywhere - without access to a server or the Internet. Colligo Personal Edition is software for real-time interactions that gives you the power and freedom to share information faster and more conveniently than dialing up, disk swapping, infrared or other traditional methods."
• Exchange files and send messages
• No need for a corporate network or Internet connection
• Faster, easier, and more flexible than swapping disks, sending email, or using Infrared
• Share and communicate with up to 10 people
The downside is that the Pocket PC version costs $19.95, so everybody you might want to communicate with needs to pony up for the software. I couldn't find a demo version available anywhere, but once I get the chance to try this out, I'll let you know how it works. Anybody out there tried this before?
