Bluetooth Hotchpotch

Technorati Tags: , ,

Strangely enough one reason I would be against buying another Toshiba laptop is the difficulty in getting Bluetooth to work. In fact right now I have managed to get my laptop into the wonderful state of being able to connect to my Nokia phone, but only for a short period of time, then the connection dies and you have to re-connect it.

Looks like I am not the only one having problems with the Toshiba Stack, aheil.de - Bluetooth Hotchpotch.

I've always wondered why the Toshiba stack is

  • So badly integrated with windows
    • Surely its a device driver at its heart
    • Why does it have separate GUI applications?
  • So difficult to use
    • It doesn't work via according to the instructions provided with anything else, you have to know how to use it and do something different
    • Additional functionality should surely be outside the device driver, not as part of some special suite.
  • And most annoying, why can't I (at least on my machine a six year old Tecra 9000, but the software is the same) use Bluetooth to drive a mouse, and WiFi to handle networking at the same time.
