Summary: Great Introduction Book on an Emerging Technology
Comment: The authors do a very good job of stepping through the "history" of wireless devices, while keeping focus on developing Bluetooth applications. The examples break down the components to a Bluetooth application and provide a good starting point for developers.
I gave a four star rating based on a couple of my personal preferences. First there are a few bulleted list that don't provide much information which take up a lot of page space. (An example would be the list of JSR-82 Expert Group on page 35.) The other comment is the 50 or so pages of the API in the appendices. Although there is a short explanation for each method, interface, constant, etc., I prefer to look that information up online.

Summary: Get On With It - Not your usual BlueTooth Book!
Comment: If you are a developer, student or home hobbyist with experience in Java programming and a desire to add bluetooth technology to your systems/programs then look no further than this book.
Forget another book explaining the Bluetooth spec, you don't even need to understand what JSR-82 is, if you know how to use an API and Bluetooth is a must then read this. A brief overview on bluetooth, A brief introduction to JSR-82 then your ready with specific examples using popular Bluetooth hardware and Popular JSR-82 complient stacks.
Bear in mind you'll need a complient bluetooth device and a JSR-82 based stack to use the book to it's full potential.

Summary: Excellent resource for the Bluetooth API
Comment: Bluetooth is a short range (max range of 30-300 feet) wireless communications protocol. JSR-82 is a Bluetooth API for Java that allows Bluetooth enabled devices talk to each other using the Java programs. Using Bluetooth, a PDA could talk to a printer and ask for a document to be printed or two Bluetooth enabled PDAs could exchange Java objects. Even if you know nothing about Bluetooth or wireless communications, this book will give you enough information to get started.
The book starts with an examination of Bluetooth and the terminology you need to know to understand Bluetooth enabled devices. It then gets into the basics of the Bluetooth API for Java and developing programs using J2ME MIDP. Chapters cover creating a Bluetooth print server, passing objects between Bluetooth devices, and securing messages between devices. The authors discuss the PC software available to simulate two Bluetooth devices talking to each other so that you can develop an application without having two Bluetooth devices sitting on your desk. The final chapters covers topics such as Jini and Ericsson BlipNet. The book contains many well commented code samples demonstrating how to use the Bluetooth API.
The book is very clear and concise. The book reads as if it was written by a couple of enthusiastic Bluetooth developers anxious to share the technology. And they do an excellent job of doing exactly that. The book is well written and interesting. I started the book knowing almost nothing about Bluetooth but now I feel confident that I can develop Bluetooth applications. If you have any interest in Bluetooth then I can recommend this book as an excellent resource.
