Was just wondering.....

Is there a way I can make storage on a device connected by bluetooth look like a drive on the local machine?

Or using some form of file explorer locally execute a .exe stored on the storage of an item connected via bluetooth?

You see I have another cunning plan re GPS on smartbook. The latest drivers I got from socket for CE4.2 seem to indicate it can handle multiple connections at the same time. If this is true and I can make storage on my phone look like a drive somehow then I could store GPS software and maps on phone and connect to BT GPS at same time.

Really not sure if this can be done. Just one of those crazy ideas I get from time to time. Will have a play tonight but just thought worth asking if anyone had at least done one half of the equation by running programs stored on bluetooth device.

hmmmm may try this.

Think I can get phone to share storage over bluetooth with samba just need to find a way to map a samba drive over the bluetooth connection. Seems like a few PPC users have said they can map a samba drive so if anyone has any info or pointers that may help me do this I would appreciate it a lot.

Fingers crossed
