One of the products I saw in that list that caught my eye is this:
http://www.free2move.se/prod_spp.htm
It's compact, but still only has a Windows style RS232 connector
instead of the Mac DIN-9 connector, so one would need to use a cable to
attach the wireless adapter to the Newton! I haven't found a comparable
product with a DIN-9 connector.
I'm not really sure how useful this would be, even if it worked
flawlessly. The best we could hope for is to use serial apps
wirelessly. At home I use Wifi for everything, since at home I have a
Mac which can still use Appletalk over Wifi for NCU and other apps. At
the office I use a Windows machine where most all Newt-Desktop
communication has to occur over a serial cable. So for the office,
Bluetooth would be useful.
I guess the only way to find out is to buy one and try it... I'm not
sure how soon I'll be doing that. I think I'd rather use my money for a
copy of ATA Support just now.
