Linux-based Bluetooth Robot 104
foobar2k writes "Sony Ericsson is showcasing their Rob-1 bluetooth controlled robot, which interestingly is running Linux. You can control the robot using your bluetooth enable mobile phone!" It's sort of a phone-controlled camera drone. From the product page: "This limited-edition Bluetooth(TM) camera on wheels really has an eye for things! Use your phone or PC to steer it. Bright lights at the front of ROB-1 lead the way."

I for one use bluetooth to sync my phone to my Mac, sync my PDA to my phone, control my Mac from my phone, use my phone as a wireless modem for my PDA or my laptop, use my Mac as a 'wireless router' for my PDA i.e. provide it with a net connection...
Bluetooth is great.
