    I've always wanted a bluetooth router but having no job (next year i will) kinda stops me from buying one. Then i thought about my uncle's Pocket PC that he gave to me. It's an iPaq h2210 and i was wondering, when i connect it to my computer is it possible to use it as a bluetooth router? I also have a wireless bluetooth mouse that probably has a higher chance of success to be used as a router. All i want to do is control my LEGO NXT mindstorms.

    any device has the hardware capability to be a router, but it depends on how much of the stack has been implemented in the firnware, and the drivers.

    you probably cant do it, the chances are the router parts of the bluetooth stack aren't implimented in the firmware. They only impliment the parts that are needed for the device to work.

    Makes sense I guess...
    Looks like I'll just have to go buy one. Thanks for the help!
