the great part is that bluetooth technology is the easiest hackable technology on the market right now. I could walk around with a briefcase that would sniff out bluetooth devices and then send that device a signal like it's a trusted signal that it's gotten before, then gain total access to every aspect of that device.

well, yeah, but wifi isn't as wide as blue tooth technology. I mean you can be in the middle of the store and chances are there's 20 people or so with bluetooth on their cellphone enabled.

it's a good idea, more and more of this technology integrated with everyday stuff, but blue tooth is too unsecure for this stuff. They need to develop a new technology to use, but I'm sure when the first few waves of bluetooth viruses start hitting hard, that's when it will be made clear to them. I heard there's already a few small time viruses in europe.
