Hi, Francois
It is good to hear. So the wireless technology can make staff so small these days.
I am curious what are you using with those USB bluetooth dongle these days? I knew one of the purpose for bluetooth is replacing the RS232 cable. 

1. Is this the main purpose for using bluetooth. 
2. For cell phone, people uses bluetooth for mainly voice.But these USB bluetooth dongle need a PC, right?
