It seems that finally Bluetooth is used more and more in the short distance wireless connections area. As reported on infoSync, Navman is going to introduce a GPS unit in May that will connect to other devices over Bluetooth. As almost all my portable devices (including the iBook) are Bluetooth enabled, either by design, or by a Socket Bluetooth card, this means I won't have to invest in new cables when I change devices. And I do use different devices all the time, so using Bluetooth for this type of connections is a great option for me. Next to that, having a Bluetooth GPS unit means you also have easier access to GPS when walking around, without adding bulk to your Pocket PC itself, as a sleeve or Compact Flash solution would. So bring that Bluetooth on!
