I am thinking it would allow me to use my wifes cell phone via GPRS for
interenet connectivity, when am away from my home wireless network.
Also as potential for Desktop connection utilities that already
support serial on OSX ie Escale to use the bluetooth on my mac as a
wireless serial port (it does this), and then the newt doing the
same... This isn't really unique tough either).
