802.11 is different technology. Bluetooth was promsing a lot and is still a ways off. 802.11 is here and working, so it's taking some marketshare, not hard against vaporware. --Mark
JSR 82 (http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/82.jsp) is the bluetooth Java API specification. It should run on CDC and CLDC devices. You can download documentation (including javadoc) and source code. In addition to that, I think there is also a bluetooth API for JavaCard. cheers Michael
hi does anyone have the APIs for bluetooth?! I am programming for a multiplayer game for mobile fone and having problems looking for the bluetooth APIs. some sites offer them for a price. does anyone of u know sites which offers them for free? or if u have them could u just email them to me? karen_ong26@yahoo.com is my email add...thanks so much!
And one more thing, you might want to spend some time perusing The jsr82 Yahoo! Group - a group dedicated to discussing Java APIs for Bluetooth Wireless technology.
The new Nokia 6600 (expected to be commercially available in 4th quarter of 2003) will support the JSR-82 Bluetooth APIs (as well as MIDP 2.0, Mobile Media API & Wireless Messaging API). As far as I know it'll be the first phone supporting JSR-82. I'm planning to write a MIDP 2.0 Bluetooth game soon - I'm really looking forward to using the phone for multi-player games, and Bluetooth ought to provide much lower latency than e.g. GPRS mobile network connections (and no packet charges!).
hi guys! any ideas on what is the transfer rate or how fast will data be transmitted among bluetooth devices? i'm developing a multi-player game with a maximum of 4 players/devices. thanks
definitely a yes. you may be interested in this site http://www.benhui.net/j2melinks.jsp?c=Bluetooth also, i am working on a article related to j2me/bluetooth development. stay tuned ben p.s. why do people still comparing bluetooth to wifi...

you can find the stub API from the JSR page http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=82 for sample, check back my website about a few weeks from now, I should have something for you to play with ben
So is there a midp phone that has bluetooth available in the US yet? What about europe or asia? I assume MIDP 2.0 allows for bluetooth but does not require it? thanks.

This is a question that must be answered carefully. There are many MIDP phones available that have Bluetooth (e.g. Nokia 6310i, 7650, 3650). However, these models don't support the JSR-82 Bluetooth API, so their Bluetooth is not accessible from MIDlets. As far as I know, there are not yet any MIDP phones available anywhere that support the JSR-82 Bluetooth API. Nokia has announced one, the Nokia 6600, but that is currently expected to be available in Q4 this year (i.e. some time October - December). MIDP 2.0 does not require the JSR-82 Bluetooth API. But a MIDP 2.0 phone (or even a MIDP 1.0 phone) may also implement the JSR-82 Bluetooth API, just as many existing MIDP 1.0 phones also implement the Wireless Messaging API (JSR-120) and the Mobile Media API (JSR-135).
hi i am working on a multiplayer bluetooth game too.. and need help..i am willing to pay, price negotiatable...or if there is any info pls send me..thank you
