It's just that all I hear about these days regarding Bluetooth is how it is the easiest to circumvent (securitywise) and I would imagine if someone figured out a hack for this software, walking down a downtown street and ripping everyone's pics could be a blast. (not that I would do it)
You wouldn't even need to hack this software, you could just run around town with a laptop and just guessing or brute forcing or whatever ne'er-do-wells use these days to crack BT PINs.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Point out my stupidity if you must, but how easy will it be for a person to walk around with a laptop and take pics off of nearby phones?

Stupid
The phone would most likely have to be paired via Bluetooth before the pictures could be transferred. No pairing, no photo transfer, no worries.
Thanks, I was waiting for that. What I *REALLY* meant was, could someone tell me why this won't be a problem :)
That's the first thing that popped into my mind too.

Heh! That pooped into my mind, too.
