interesting Vanja. I didn't know this was possible. can you do this with your own phone? does it not need to give permission for anything trying to gain access before the message is sent?
I suppose the only problem is that not everyone would want the menu sent by bluetooth but then it would not be a mmajor inconvenience either.

There are ways to send messages to any Bluetooth devices in an area. Some companies already experimented with this by sending advertisements to any Bluetooth devices. For example when I went to see snow patrol in the o2 arena when I turned Bluetooth on my phone I got sent some messages about other events that they thought might interest me by o2.Vanja http://www.sudar.co.uk http://mashupradio.net MSN/windows live messenger: sudar23@xxxxxxxxxxx AIM: vanja121 Skype: vanja121----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray's Home" <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 1:32 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: The Virgin Trains thread that went off track!Scuse my ignorance on wireless communication, but Dave suggests using Blue Tooth as a means of getting menus, passenger info, etc. to passengers, and in the context of our needs. Would this actually be Blue Tooth, or maybe Wi-Fi? Either way, if it would work, then seems a good idea to me; but am I missing something here?

Please accept my apologies too. Will try to stay on topic, only life would be so boring without a bit of harmless banter and imagination. Back on topic, hands up all those who own a phone equipped with Bluetooth! yes loads of you, well, what if the train companies and many other companies for that matter, made available Bluetooth downloads of menus and other services so you could hear them through your phone, and it cost nothing. Dave My sincere apologies everyone for the banter between a few of us today, of which I was a part, that went off track in the midst of a thread about Virgin Trains. Nice though it is to share a bit of harmless fun on an otherwise extremely dreary day, I appreciate this is a list for access technology and, as such, should remain on topic at all times. Hands up! sorry! (smiles).
