Bluetooth/Airport at MWSF
I just ran across two interesting pieces of info...
1. Airport cards are becoming hard to find in stock- Switch to 802.11g? maybe...

2. Apple requested to cancel Bluetooth patent process-
No Bluetooth? no way..

So, what does this mean? I think that Apple will ditch a standard built-in Bluetooth and opt for a card, hmm like an advanced Airport card that supports both 802.11g and Bluetooth. This way all Mac users with Airport will have to replace their Airport cards and base stations or buy a new Mac with the advanced card included and a $50 rebate on Airport basestation 3.0 (802.11g and Blue tooth) with ofcourse a subcription to dotMac.
