    You've read about it on the web; heard about it on the radio; read articles in the newspapers... but what exactly is bluejacking?

    *Warning- by the end of 'What is bluejacking?' I can assure you that you'll be sick of the word 'Bluetooth'

    First up, you need to know what Bluetooth is. There are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate the Bluetooth wireless communication system as one of their many features. PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern devices. Bluetooth means that Bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address book contacts, pictures & notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range of about 10 metres.

    So, we've got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, eg. 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field. Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will popup saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has just been received by Bluetooth" or something along those lines. For most 'victims' they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone. So, personalised messages like 'I like your pink top' and the startled expressions that result is where the fun really starts.

    That, my friends, is the basic answer to 'What is bluejacking?'

    I did it once before in an Indian - I put the message as enjoying your curry? And the guy totaly freaked out, it was soooo funny.
