I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.
I've been experimenting with the Bluetooth library for .NET I mentioned earlier, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I wanted to connect my phone to my computer and transfer images, but it's not working as expected. The library itself seems fine, it's likely my understanding of Bluetooth communication that's lacking. On the plus side, detecting devices with the library is very easy!
In a follow-up to my previous post about the scarcity of Bluetooth libraries for desktop PCs, Mark Arteaga brought 32feet.net to my attention. This site offers a managed Bluetooth library which I plan to investigate further. Initial impressions from the sample code suggest it's straightforward to use, with device discovery appearing as simple as calling a function and communication happening via streams.
