Thanks for getting back to me Luc!
And thanks for the pointers. I've checked them out and there is good
info there as well as in the examples. However, here is what I'm
looking to do.
Let's say I'm managing inventory in a warehouse and I have a 12"
PowerBook (Bluetooth-enabled), a hand-held wand (Bluetooth-enabled) and
all around me are products that each have their own RFID (Bluetooth)
tag on them.
In front of me is a crate of widgets, each widget with an RFID tag. I
take the wand, which is associated with my PowerBook via Bluetooth, and
I touch one of the products with the tag. Immediately on my screen a
window opens with information about this product. Let's say this
products is a custom-built motorcycle and the window has info about the
motorcycle. Maybe I add more info, noting that a custom seat was added
to the motorcycle, I save and walk down the warehouse.
There is a pallet of new products now and each product has a tag. I
touch the wand to a product and up comes a window which allows me to
add new data about this product. But instead of typing all this data in
there is a board nearby which I can use to do data entry. On the board
are various RFID tags, each one representing a value, or group of
values, back in the database. I touch a tag and information about the
product is immediately entered. I touch another tag and a set of
information is entered.
Make sense?
I've seen this done before but want to know if I can do it with an
Apple and the Bluetooth SDK they have now or with Tiger.
Thanks for your time!

Hi,
I'm not sure of what you're asking exactly. For the examples of
Bluetooth for Apple, see on your Mac:
/Developer/Examples/Bluetooth/
For a guide, see:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeviceDrivers/Conceptual/
Bluetooth/BT_Intro/chapter_1_section_1.html
For your app, I do not have enough info to really understand, but I
would be happy to help you with more info.
:-)

Hi,
I'm beginning to get into Bluetooth technology and have some
application requirements which I'd like to run across this list to
see if:
1. They are viable given the current Bluetooth SDK.
2. If not, will they be with the Tiger release?
3. Are there any Apple examples, or others for that matter, which I
can use as a guide?
The app is a basic data entry and reporting tool to manage inventory
of product. The idea is that each product has a Bluetooth tag which
is read by a wand which then brings up either the product
information, if already in the database or a new entry screen to put
the data into the database. The cool thing here is that the computer
will not be used by the person taking/managing inventory; they will
use the wand with a board that contains other Bluetooth tags which
act as input ids for values in each of the entry screen's fields.
Make sense? If not I can clarify further. T'would be nice to know if
this is doable; seems like it.
Thanks!
Jon
