Control a Mac from any Bluetooth-enabled device
Authored by: bignumbers on Oct 25, '04 11:58:16AM

I don't have any bluetooth palms to test, but I'm guessing the host Macs need to pair with devices (as they do with mice/keyboards) before accepting incoming files. If so, this presents the same risks (low for most situations) as a bluetooth keyboard. Potentially someone could sneak into your office to pair a keyboard, then later hide in your closet and type commands.

There's no need to pair a device to receive files from it.
Once I left a picture I had on the mobile into every PowerBook at an Apple store!
