1. For PANs, Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 are the most popular technologies.

2. You can get information about SyncML from http://www.syncml.org and also from http://www.symbian.com, http://www.nokia.com, http://www.ibm.com, http://www.motorola.com, and http://www.ericsson.com.

3. You can obtain the Bluehoc Development Kit from http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/bluehoc.

4. Bluetooth provides the radio link between various devices that form a network when they are close to one another. This radio link can be used to transfer WAP applications. Consider the following example:

   At a railway station, a WAP server can be installed that provides the latest information about the train arrivals/departures and the platform numbers. This WAP server can be Bluetooth enabled. When a Bluetooth-enabled mobile device comes near this WAP server, automatically the server can send the details of the train information to the mobile device over the Bluetooth link. This is known as WAP Kiosk.
