    Apple Bluetooth GPS

    I would love to have an Apple GPS unit that could communicate location to nearby iPhones and MacBooks, via bluetooth. The GPS would need no user interface of its own.

    Has anyone seen software so that I can use my mac laptop as a bluetooth headset (not with a head set but as a head set). If I had that, then I could use the Text To Speech facility to talk over my mobil phone. I guess there is a bluetooth "stack" for Windows that does this. I'm wondering if...

    My bluetooth mightymouse sucks! Am I the only one?

    If you click the right mouse button on my mightymouse you have about a 1/4 chance of it actually working. I've been burned by it so many times that I'm conditioned to just hold control before clicking anything that I intend to right click on. It seems like if I cycle the power on the mouse it...
