\"20% Bluetooth discount on your mc Donald Menu! Ref. no. 8765. Valid 10 mins.\" I'd most certainly go in to the MaccyD I just passed if I was hungry!

Maybe so, but you see what I mean?
I think it's a fab idea.

yeah it has got potential... but there'll be a point where you are walking down the street and your phone goes off every 10secs, which would be really really annoying

Can you imagine someday when almost everyboddy gota
long range on their phones. Someone could just sit with their laptop and send a mesage to al people that carry a
in 100m range. That would be bluespaming.

it may not work. BT is turned off by default on most phones as stated earlier, and if the phone is paired with a device, i'm not sure if you are still able to receive content via BT if your phone is currently engaged in a pair with another BT device, i may be wrong though. has anyone tried it? overall, i think it is a really stupid idea that will prove to be nothing more than an annoyance because you know that even if you do not opt-in to receive messages, marketers will still send them any opportunity they get.

I don't think commercial bluejacking would work at the moment for the reasons stated in the previous threads about range, message limitations, option to turn BT off etc.
However...
I wouldn't put it past mobile manufacturers to start using always on, 100m bluetooth in their next batch of new phones. With extra software to allow longer messages and even pics to be broadcasted. The shops, of course, would have to have this software too, which would be convieniently licensed from mobile companies. In other words, the mobile companies get extra money off the shops, and we get loads of bluetooth spam.
Not a very nice prediction, I really hope it doesn't happen

I got a 100m BT dongle for my PC.. could easily work.. I always leave my BT on auto on my P800 and use SMan for autojacking "Zip your flies up!" the thought of bogus offers in a store is nearly as funny as IR Remote is in a TV shop

No, the latest BT Access Points have a 100m range - just that your phone has a 10m radius when sending.
