What makes you think that?


The Spot II does not have bluetooth, but the PN-6W at
http://blog.delorme.com/2010/01/06/d...communication/
uses a similar wireless protocol, IEEE 802.15.4, described at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.15.4-2006

Unfortunately, hand-held devices with that capability are incredibly
rare, and certainly not as cheap as bluetooth-enabled devices.

Cheers,
