BlueChat 2.0
Palm™ BlueChat 2.0 allows you to wirelessly exchange text with other local
BlueChat users in real time.
How it works
BlueChat relies on Bluetooth™ technology to allow you to exchange text with
other BlueChat users. A Bluetooth-equipped handheld can wirelessly connect with
similarly equipped handhelds up to 10 meters (30 feet) away. And unlike beaming,
your handheld doesn’t have to be pointed at another handheld in order to make a
connection.
BlueChat uses the standard Bluetooth discovery process to automatically find all
other BlueChat users in range. In addition, BlueChat stores the device names and
addresses of the last ten BlueChat users you chatted with, so you don’t have to go
through the discovery process to find them again.
System requirements
To install BlueChat, your handheld must have at least 200 kilobytes (KB) of free
RAM storage available.
To find the amount of RAM storage available:
1.
Tap the Home icon
.
2.
Tap the Menu icon
.
3.
Tap Info in the App menu.
4.
Tap Size.
In the line beginning “Free Space” are two numbers. The second number is the
total amount of RAM available on your handheld. The first number is the
amount of free RAM available. If the first number can be rounded up to 200KB
or more, your handheld has enough RAM to support BlueChat. For example, if
the first number is 1MB (1 megabyte), your handheld has enough RAM.
