The BlueCove project provides an easy to use, platform-independent library for using local and remote Bluetooth devices. If you aren’t pleased with BlueCove, you can use the J2ME version distributed by Sun. So, what can you do with Bluetooth? In short, just about anything.

There aren’t many articles out there over this, so it’s easy to get discouraged as you burn your eyes out attempting to read through loads of namespaces, methods and properties. Documentation is available, but usually only contains namespace members without description. BlueCove provides four examples on their site, and they are VERY useful.

I would love to find some fellow developers out there who would like to team up, research and publish our findings. I plan on doing so regardless, and if you’re interested, contact me at will [at] phpfever.com.

Bluetooth is a hidden gem!
