Bluetooth is really a lot more appropriate for short range, low throughput devices like headsets and mice. It uses frequency hopping and so causes minimal interference to 802.11 and other 2.4GHz technologies. Plus, BT was designed from the ground up to be cheap, simple and low power. Sure it has problems, but I reckon adapting WiFi to be cheap and low power will be much harder than fixing up BT.]]>Jun 4th 2008 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/ozmo-intel-trumpet-wifi-pan-for-low-power-devices-bluetooth-s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/ozmo-intel-trumpet-wifi-pan-for-low-power-devices-bluetooth-s/

If my phone was placed anywhere near my keyboard, it'd make my keyboard freak out and my mouse stop working.]]>Jun 4th 2008 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/ozmo-intel-trumpet-wifi-pan-for-low-power-devices-bluetooth-s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/ozmo-intel-trumpet-wifi-pan-for-low-power-devices-bluetooth-s/Jun 4th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/ozmo-intel-trumpet-wifi-pan-for-low-power-devices-bluetooth-s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/ozmo-intel-trumpet-wifi-pan-for-low-power-devices-bluetooth-s/
EEE PC
iPod Touch
PSP

are the 3 that I use, but there are many more devices without bluetooth but with WiFi, such as:

Nintendo DS and Wii
Xbox 360
Zune
Archos DAPs
WiFi digital cameras

and many more...
