I didn't think this was possible yet, but someone has made some Applescripts that allow you to share your Mac's internet connection via bluetooth. I am using my 12" powerbook's built-in bluetooth with my TG50 and it works very well. The only problem is that you can't use bluetooth syncing or file transfer when the internet sharing is active.

Yeah, I've used this on a few different occasions. Pretty nifty. :)

It never worked on my 15 inch iMac...

It seems to work and not work depending on a lot of factors -- my friend can't get it to work on his Powerbook at all. I think it has to do with his connection using PPPOE.

But it's great for those that it works for -- I can finally get my email on my Clie, nott to mention the web (which is probably slightly less useful, given the limitations of screen size an the fact that you have to be within a few feet of your "real" computer to use it...)
