I didn't realize they were competing. That seems like USB competing with Ethernet, meaning one is a peripherial connection technology and the other is an inter-computer connection technology. I love Bluetooth (I have a Sony-Ericcson T68i and iSync is awesome) but I would never use it for networking. Pricing is mentioned as an issue, but I've seen 802.11b cards and access points for the same prices mentioned in the article in the latest Best Buy ad.
I guess if someone made this someone needs to review it, but the entire exercise seems like a geek project with little real world applications.
