Within LU Microelectronics, the new Bluetooth device is called Excalibur. It is a client side device that integrates the RF with a baseband processor to provide a PCM interface to the host. As you said, the killer app is PDAs, laptops, and cellphone interfaces within the wireless world. The PC world can use the same device for interconnecting desktops to printers, serial interfaces, and practically any other peripheral device that has a Bluetooth module. As such, module to module is probably the most useful way to use it. The protocol is pretty flexible, and provides reconfiguring of master/slave functionality on the fly. I'm not sure how your envisioning location identification with Bluetooth, since I believe that Bluetooth is for interconnecting devices. There are a number of methods in use (and proposed for location identification, among them using LOran or GPS, but those are independent of the Bluetooth standards. Lucent claims the only fully complaint device on the market (although there are others).
