Thanks for the reply...
With the many Pocket PCs with CE.net 4.2 being introduced on the market,
most of them support Bluetooth, and come with a suite of applications for
using the Bluetooth connectivity. We would like a suite of applications to
use this connectivity as well. I assume Microsoft has a suite of
applications they bundle with the PocketPC 2003 version of Platform Builder.
After installing Belkin's adapter to my host, my host is now ready to share
network connectivity, files, active sync, and provide other services. I
would like to begin connecting to these services and use them.
