I've seen news of Windows Mobile peripherals and the main one that I've seen up until now (an Ultrasound scanner). While it was neat I don't have anything in or around my house for which I'd have a need to view its externals. But I've finally come across a peripheral I had to have. I'm driving an older car (a 1999 Honda Civic) and I've got a dedicated OBD II scanner that I keep in my trunk for those times when the check engine light comes on. The only thing that my scanner will tell me is why the check engine light is on, but I've got no other insight into what my engine is doing. This OBD II Scanner that came across by way of WMPowerUser.com gives a bit more insight to what the engine is doing. Best of all this uses a Bluetooth interface. I'd be willing to bet its using the Bluetooth COM interface and won't be hard to use from my own custom applications (meaning I can use this and one of my extra Windows Mobile devices as an enginer logger). I just placed my order on the device. I hope to have it soon.
