I'm thinking about getting a Tungsten T3 (which has bluetooth) and I was wondering if it's possible to make a Mac (17" PB in my case) serve as a bluetooth access point. I'd like to be able to surf the internet with one hand using the Tungsten from the next room while holding the baby.

I do it all the time with my cell phone (T610) and my Ti, so I guess it must be possible with tungsten... I'm sure someone will have a definitive answer though...

I use some scripts to do this all the time with my T|T... Basically it allows you to use BT like you would a software-base-station Check these out. Performace is very reasonable on my T|T!

Make sure that before you use the technohappymeal scripts you turn off bluetooth syncing in the hotsync manager otherwise you won't get it working. If you don't, the console.log will say that the port is in use and it won't be able to use it.
