Mike @ Wi-Fi ToysNew World Record for Bluetooth Link!

The date: Wednesday, July 28th 2004
The time: 12:00 PM PDT
The test: Connect to a low-power Bluetooth cellphone from a distance of 1 kilometer

The result: Success! 

...With a slight cable modification, this test shows that, based on previous research in the area, bluetooth functions (and exploits) can now be performed from distances thought to be impossible.Is this unprecedented or are they just trying to sell bluedriving kits?
