- Gary has a bluetooth headset and is tired of high cell phone bills. He wants to use it with his computer to talk to his girlfriend through a VoIP program. - Dan has a bluetooth camera phone. He took pictures of a hot girl he hooked up with and wants to share them with his friends. - Cindy has a bluetooth PDA. Cindy is heading out to work and wants to quickly bring a file with her to work without having to bend down to the computer to plug her USB stick. Cindy uses bluetooth to send the file to her cell phone. - Mike has built up a very large network of contacts in his bluetooth phone. He wants his phone to syncronize its address book with his computer, adding everyone he has added in his computer address book to his phone and everyone in his phone to his computer address book, and also to his instant messenger list where he entered a screenname in his phone. - Jason brings his PDA with him everywhere in order to keep track of his dates. He wants to stop having to take out his PDA and struggling to enter information on the small screen when he is on his computer, and wants to be able to browse all data on the computer. - Jamie got a new bluetooth mouse and keyboard and wants to use it with her computer. - Joe constantly receives text messages, and is getting annoyed at taking his bluetooth phone out of his pocket to check them, and to have to type on such a small screen to reply to them. When Joe is at his computer, he wants to send and receive his text messages through his computer. - Terry got bluetooth headphones from her boyfriend. She wants to use them to listen to music, but alerts should still sound through the main computer speakers, as she only wears the headphones when listening to music. - Sara is very worried about people accessing her computer and is afraid of someone guessing her password when she is not in her dorm room. She wants her computer to automatically lock itself and prevent access while her Bluetooth phone that she always carries with her is not in range of the computer. - Geek's laptop is equipped with a hard drive sensor and wears his bluetooth phone on his belt. When he walks away from his laptop (the signal gets weaker then specified, not necessarily out of range), he wants his laptop's alarm system to activate and sound whenever anyone touches his computer, as Geek is very afraid someone will steal his laptop while he is getting a book in the library or going to the bathroom and doesn't take his laptop with him. |

- Gary has a bluetooth headset and is tired of high cell phone bills. He wants to use it with his computer to talk to his girlfriend through a VoIP program. - Dan has a bluetooth camera phone. He took pictures of a hot girl he hooked up with and wants to share them with his friends. - Cindy has a bluetooth PDA. Cindy is heading out to work and wants to quickly bring a file with her to work without having to bend down to the computer to plug her USB stick. Cindy uses bluetooth to send the file to her cell phone. - Mike has built up a very large network of contacts in his bluetooth phone. He wants his phone to syncronize its address book with his computer, adding everyone he has added in his computer address book to his phone and everyone in his phone to his computer address book, and also to his instant messenger list where he entered a screenname in his phone. - Jason brings his PDA with him everywhere in order to keep track of his dates.
