Not with Bluetooth, but we're getting close to a pilot for wireless
hotspots, given the increasing popularity of the iPhone and iPod touch
and other wifi enabled portable devices, where we're looking at mp3
interpretations, and sound bites and Geo-located web pages with more
detail of an exhibit.
e.g. each WiFi spot will have a different home page, relevant to where
the user is in the Museum (Black Country Living Museum , by the way)
