The Bluetooth wireless technology is getting   
more and more attention. There are a lot of    
devices available and most of them are working 
perfect with Linux, because Linux has the      
BlueZ. This is the codename of the official    
Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux and since   
its announcement on May, 3rd 2001 many things  
have been improved. Now it is possible to use  
Bluetooth for simple cable free serial         
connections, dialup networks, TCP/IP networks, 
ISDN networks, human interface devices,        
printing, imaging, file transfers, contact and 
calendar synchronization etc. All these        
services are designed to integrate seamlessly  
into existing and established parts of Linux,  
like the kernel TTY layer, the network         
subsystem, the CUPS printing architecture, the 
OpenOBEX library and so on. This talk will     
explain the architecture of BlueZ and          
demonstrate its easy usability.
