RE: Digest Number 5866 ([OT] Skype on Ipaq using headset)

["Gareth J. Williams" <gjw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ho Yin,

I've been playing with this at work and it's because, as Wayne says, they
s=
hare the same frequency band. There is an additional spec which explains
ho=
w to get these two systems to interoperate, but not every device out there
=
uses it (it's a case of marketing - we have BT and Wi-fi but we don't say
t=
hey can be used together).

I've done tests with a XDA2i and Dell Axim 50V. The XDA didn't work with
th=
e BT headset, and the Dell did. XDA antennas were next to each other and
th=
e Dells had a bit more separation which helps.

Hope this helps.

Gareth

or splash out for a proper skype USB phone.

Hiya,
Quick thing that I've found,
I take it your ipaq is connected to your lan with Wifi, and as you said,
yo=
ur BT headset is - well bluetooth... One think that I have found when
tryin=
g to mix the two wireless technologies, is you don't get great performance
=
with either... they kinda clash on the frequency range they use(although I
=
think the new 54g /is/ different to BT). Separate - ok - together - not so
=
good :(. . I've seen it with laptops and with ipaqs (funnily enough with
vo=
ice very recently!)

I'm sure I read somewhere else that having a microwave 'doing its thing'=20
can also interfere if your AP and wireless device are either side!

Hopefully this isn't just 'up in the air' :!
Wayne.
