Bluetooth & wireless imaging - I do believe that Bluetooth is a potentially disruptive technology for the removable flash industry, however, evolution of digital gadgets could prove that the best solution will be a combination of Bluetooth connectivity with removable and scalable flash storage as someone else pointed out. I hope that is the case, and it does make a lot of sense. However, in any case it will take some time for the Bluetooth disruption to occur: Price of Bluetooth enabling is around $70 per device if I recall correctly, and there are still some technical hurdles: Bluetooth is one of those technologies that people call "long-awaited." The wireless local networking scheme just hasn't come online as soon as many people had hoped. One hindrance to Bluetooth's rapid commercialization is the fact that like other technologies, long-awaited or not, there are bugs to work out. cnn.com Re: Wireless digital camera - have you seen the Ricoh RDC-i700?
