Bluetooth web?
Can Bluetooth do webbing?
Like if you are twenty feet from a cell phone, and forty feet from another iBook, can you see the iBook through the cell phone and use it?
Like, can it make a giant network? Or is it just you get what is 30 feet (the max) away from your reciever and nothing beyond that....

Just did that today, setup my t68i as a GPRS modem, bluetoothed to my buddy's tibook. And was able to browse the web, at 56k modem speed.
Took a while to figure out the settings but it worked.
<strong>Yes you can do that. With most bluetooth devices.

Ad-hoc peer-to-peer networks are an intrinsic part of what Bluetooth is (in theory) capable of: sending data from A to B for free using free-to-air bandwidth and Bluetooth nodes as relays.
In practice, forget it. A user interface to do this doesn't exist and there are many practical problems that will screw it.
Edit: With the exception of "networks" where you control all the devices as above. Not so hard.
