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.

New in V1.1: a Bluetooth discovery crash problem on the Janam XP30 is resolved.

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.

An evaluation version of RFCOMM Bluetooth is available! Click here to Download and try the evaluation version!

The evaluation version is fully functional to allow testing it in deep detail. After each function call an evaluation message box will be displayed for approximately 2 seconds. Whereas most functions will display this information each time calling it, some of the functions will display the evaluation message box only after a period of 90 seconds has expired. This allows you to subsequently call these functions in short timeframes.

This extension is manufactured and supported by Handheld Competence of Germany, and is marketed by PalmDataPro.com. The RFCOMM Bluetooth extension includes a royalty-free per-developer runtime license, meaning you can distribute the extension PRC files royalty-free with your app but you need to purchase a separate license for each SF developer (basically the same as the Satellite Forms IDE license).
