there's another alternative for short range wireless
this is the specs page on their site:
http://www.spike-wireless.com/specs.html
but basically, it's low latency, low power, much cheaper than bluetooth.. i think around 5-6$ per chip now, which includes a 50 mhz MIPS chip, of which you can use about 50% of the cycles for any application, so you could have a PDA built around this.
the company that developed it is http://www.eleveneng.com/
i see this as the short range solution for pda's cellphones, mp3 players, and gaming, and WiFi for long range stuff..
RIP bluetooth :)
