1 Kilometer Bluetooth Link to Cell Phone 94
carbolic writes "WiFi-Toys.com has posted an article (with pics) about performing a Bluetooth connection over a distance of 1 kilometer. They claim it is a new world record. They used a Class 1 USB adapter modded using a kit from Bluedriving.com. The over-the-air connection went to an unmodified Sony Ericsson T610 at a distance of 'about 3,300 feet' and they transferred a few pictures. This test was to a paired device pre-configured for the built-in ObexFTP access, but the implication is that now it's easy to Bluesnarf without even being near the target phone."

Actually, geeks spend their Thursday nights talking about how to use Bluetooth to get dates [mypdacafe.com]. I guess when their shortrange schemes fall flat, they spend Friday figuring out how to up the distance.
