GNOME
The GNOME Bluetooth subsystem’s home page is available at http://
usefulinc.com/software/gnome-bluetooth. Download it from the project’s
home page. RPM and Debian packages are also available. Features of the
GNOME Bluetooth subsystem include:
• An OBEX server application
• An OBEX sending client
• A phone manager application allowing sending and receiving of SMS
messages
• Graphical exploration of remote devices
• Programming libraries for creating Bluetooth-aware applications in C,
Python, or C#
Figure 7-10 and Figure 7-11 show GNOME’s Bluetooth features in action.
Synchronization
If your PDA uses Bluetooth and you use Ximian Evolution as your calendar
and contacts management tool, you can synchronize the two over Blue-
tooth using the Multisync application. Multisync is available in most Linux
distributions, and you can download it from its home page at http://
multisync.sourceforge.net.
