[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] bi-di BT-link between two 770s

[From: Collin R. Mulliner]

Mhh sounds interesting... 

I did something similar to have a Bluetooth based IM system, you could
hook-up to my system and (ab)use it for transporting the game data (my
system also supports routing).

Also what about just using PAN/NAP for building an small personal IP
network just for your game?

...so many ideas
