Bad! or best?? textbook to understand or teach Bluetooth
In Hands-free profile explanation, there are some drawings from Fig. 20-8 to Fig. 20-12. In these drawings, the pictures of Hands-free device and Audio Gateway are all opposite.
In real Hands-free profile, an Audio Gate-way is a cellular phone and a Hands-free device is a ECU which has audio I/F.
In these, the pictures of the cellular phone are all right side left, mirror image. I think this might be a kind of mistake on making books, but it is a bad joke or an evidence of carelessness of the authors that they could not find these in their proofreading phase.
If there were same kind of mistakes in the other parts, a reader would need to read all related specifications and check them. It might make a reader to be a real expert of Bluetooth, but who want to buy and read this book with referencing the all specification in the same time?

Want to move on ..
This is book is okay for someone wishing to understand the protocols and the building blocks that make up the protocol stack. But its emphasis on the applications is very, very poor.I personally think that the numerous companies now have invested money in the building blocks and now want to benefit from developing applications, which can be sold to their customers. This book does not add anything new for me.

Disappointed
I was very disappointed with this book. It seems very hurried and rushed, where the authors chop and change in the text. There seems to be a lot of discussion for the baseband stuff, but all the application stuff was poor. I wanted a book that told me how to create my Bluetooh applications and this one didn't.Anyone?
