I agree totally.  I think the other problem that Bluetooth presents is that
a lot of people want to use it for things it just wasn't ever meant to do.

I hear a lot of IT types whine that their Bluetooth network interface isn't
stable, or is too slow.  Bluetooth isn't really intended for things like
that-
it really is just to replace anything you can use a serial cable for- a
mouse,
a keyboard, a joystick, a speaker, etc.  I'm sure it works quite well for
things like that.
