Multiple Bluetooth connections with a Tungsten T3 ?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to have multiple ( well, 2 )
simultaneous Bluetooth connections to a Tungsten T3 ?

TIA,

M.

I think it would depend on your definition of simultaneous. As a
signal it would seem to require ack/nack so it would only be able to
connect to one other discrete device at a time, but it would also seem
like it could do the discrete connections so fast as to appear
simultaneous. Your PC NIC only connects to one other device at a time,
but since it does it so fast, it doesn't make any practical
difference.

As another data point, the T3 supports blue chat which uses 4 or 6
different devices, but I'm sure at the communication level, it's only
making one connection at a time.

You're correct about not being able to have multiple connections
simultaneously although this is not specific to Palm. The issue with the
phone is a phone problem not a Palm problem. I am able to use my T3 to dial
my Sony-Ericsson T68i which is paired with a Plantronics BT headset. My
understanding of why this doesn't work with some phones is that the phone
doesn't drop the BT connection to the T3 quickly enough to permit the
connection to the headset to activate. Just so you know it doesn't work with
my Motorola V551 either. It's really not a Palm 'mistake'.
