It's only in Swedish mixed with Japanese... It's the very secretive
"Dangerous Meatballs" list, aka. Ookini (yes there are some obscure links
to Kyoto (Ookini meaning "thanks" in Kyoto dialect)). So for my safety, I
can not make any pointers. But let's say it is about subversive wireless
networks.

Toshiba has temporarily backed from including Bluetooth, mainly because of
that they see limited use of it. They probably had to choose between
Karaoke and Bluetoth to reach the right production cost, and that was an
obvious choice...
See for instance http://www2.t-ucs.co.jp/au/c415t/
Seriously, what I have heard is that they see that there needs to be more
PCs etc with Bluetooth first and/or some kind of backend solution like
Bluetooth hotspots (if that will become a reality).
