The RFCOMM Bluetooth extension from Handheld Competence allows you to develop applications for Palm OS with serial functionality using Bluetooth Wireless Technology. Without the need for establishing and maintaining the Bluetooth connection between a Bluetooth equipped Palm OS device and a Bluetooth device with RFCOMM functionality, the developer can extend existing applications or develop new applications which offer serial functionality to the user. This driver offers all the required functionality for RFCOMM purposes:

• Initialise Bluetooth RFCOMM connection as master or client
• Discover Bluetooth devices
• Get the device address and the device name of the selected Bluetooth device
• Set the address of a Bluetooth device, to avoid a time consuming discovery process
• Establish a connection
• Get the state of the Bluetooth connection
• Send and receive data
• Disconnect from Bluetooth device

A full featured sample application is included, which has been created with the Satellite Forms MobileApp Designer Version 5.23.
