[maemo-developers] PC Suite communication

[From: Jarmo.Tikka at nokia.com]

Hi,

I do not know much about you actual question about obex etc.

I just wondered why you don't just setup USB/BT networking between Maemo device and host with Maemo PC Connectivity. After that you can use standard TCP/IP between host PC and device.
