BlueTooth and CDMA I am not clear on Bluetooth's bandwidth. I have a feeling it is not a high bandwidth item.

Stephen, please excuse the out of sequence reply. You asked, "My question is whether or not the new BlueTooth standards are compatible with CDMA. If they are it certainly might have great potential for PDA's and lap tops. To be mobile and connected to the "home" WLAN when it is accessible should provide some great opportunities. It would also have opportunities for other net appliances." The kinds of relay operation you are inquiring about will become feasible and commonplace, indeed they are, already, in some crude sorts of ways. CDMA, however, is not compatible with Bluetooth at the air interface level, or in their root architectural levels. They each use different slices of spectrum and different protocols/algorithms. But through the use of on-the-fly sensing and auto-adaptable APIs, the interplay and handoff capabilities between these two frameworks will permit the sorts of dynamic transparency you alluded to.
