USB and Bluetooth

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.bluetooth (More info?)

Hi all,

Is there a USB Bluetooth hub or central connection unit I can use to
access all my USB periferals with a laptop that has Bluetooth?

That would solve a lot of problems.

Thanks.

Of course it can handle this. What you effectively want is a number of USB channels
multiplexed over a Bluetooth channel.
You would not get the equivalent data capacity however.

The difficulty would be the software to extract each USB channel and present them
individually to the PC to be accessed by the peripheral drivers....Maybe a sort of
software virtual USB controller....

Of course Bluetooth provides the software serial port profile. Just a layer on top of
that..maybe..

A marketing breakthrough.

Haven't time though, damn!


THen what good is Bluetooth?????

good for dreaming up DIY PAN projects. oh..
and keeping "Future Technology and Gadgets" website authors out of the benefits queue
