RE: TDK BISM Bluetooth ( was RE: Multiple serial ports for Pocket

at CeBIT 04 (Hannover) I talked with people from Gennum, who
	- make the BT chip for the BT version of the FrogPad Single-hand
		keyboard
	- showed me a module the size of a thumb fingernail and promissed 
		to put the firmware you need (for the SPP profile but
		also for the upcoming multimdia-audio profile which is
		no longer telephony-only quality) inside the uC on this 
		module
=> so, if size matters - there are more interesting things to expect soon.

regards
 Ralf

BTW: I'm very exited about the many things at the Tekgear site!
