Bluetooth sync speed - SSSLLLOOOWWW

[slinger]

Greetings,

Is everyone seeing really slow sync speeds with bluetooth, or is it just me? For instance, to hotsync a 550KB .prc file using bluetooth takes nearly 30 seconds. I figure this is because hotsync is using the bluetooth serial port emulation. Are there any other ways to accomplish the same thing, and faster, using bluetooth?

Thanks!

30 seconds isnt really bad...

I think mine takes about 45-60 sec I never really timed it.


What is a minute?

I think this is due at least in part to the fact that Bluetooth falls quite short of even Wi-Fi speeds, much less wired transfer rates.  I may be mistaken but it seems that Bluetooth is limited in that it only has ranges of around 30 feet and rates maxing out around 2-3Mbps (in contrast to Wi-Fi's 100+ feet and 11Mbps respectively).  Now how much this comes into play during .prc transfer during a hotsync I can't say.
