Security and Mobile Phones
It's a real possibility your mobile phone or PDA goes missing or is stolen and get end up in hands of a stranger. For some this is a nightmare scenario because their addressbook and messages can end up in the wrong hands, so many companies will lock a stolen cell phone in at least 4 different ways leaving it useless. At the same time though, your personal data stored in the phone is intact and ready for use again once your phone is restored to you.
Bluetooth is a maturing technology
Bluetooth promised to integrate almost every electrical and electronic device in the household including your phones, GPS, laptops and even your car.
The reality some 10 years after Bluetooth first came on the scene is that the prohibitive costs have made the technolgy prohibitively expensive for most people. Another problem Bluetooth evangelists didn't anticipate was the problem was security - or the lack of it!
