Comment Re:I may be wrong, Im not an astrologer (Score 1) 333

Astronomy is the naming of the stars, Astrology should rightfully be the logical study of the stars

actually, "astronomy" is the law (or regulating) of the stars. as opposed, for example, to anonymous. "nomos" is law, "onyma" is name (someday, someone will explain to me why the romans decided that the upsilon in greek ought to be transliterated as "y"). so "astronomy" isn't quite as mis-named as it appears.

it may be worth commenting here that Cingular doesn't cripple their bluetooth handsets. between us, my husband and i have had 4 bluetooth-capable handsets from cingular (a SonyEricsson T610, two Nokia 6820s, and a Palm Treo 650) and bluetooth on them has been used for the following:

1. to transfer contacts, ringtones, and photos phone-to-phone

2. to transfer contacts, ringtones, and photos phone-to-computer (both windows and mac) and back.

3. as a frontrow-style remote for a powerbook

4. email and web apps from powerbook-to-treo

5. as a dial-up modem for the powerbook

6. paired with a bluetooth headset

so i wouldn't doubt that the iPhone will he capable of pairing with a bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse. or if it can't, it (probably) won't be because Cingular crippled the bluetooth.
