While it will be a great technology once it matures, I am a bit skeptical of it at this stage. I have a friend who works for Motorola - at one time he was part of a team working on Bluetooth integration products for vehicles. I recall him telling me that it has fantastic promise, but that there are some issues remaining.
Of course, that was 1.5 years ago, so I may be off base.
Than again, Saab appears to be the first manufacturer to embrace Bluetooth in a production vehicle. I would expect a shakedown period...
As far as service pricing goes, I expect to see some serious sticker shock. If we all think that wireless phone service can be expensive, my guess is that we'll be howling at the Bluetooth bills.
At least, that is, until it is more widely adopted.
I like gadgets, though, so I fool nobody when I say these things. I'd be trying Bluetooth out right now if I could.
