    So, it's a Bluetooth device. I wouldn't limit it to just paging. Novel idea though. Regardless, it must be sustaineable and cost effective. Good luck Gerald, [][][]Steve

    Contact the manufacturer if you have questions about the legality of the use of intellectual property. Especially, if you intend to modify the Device for resale. Who knows, They may buy the idea from you. If I take a Linksys router apart and turn the circuit board into a Linux game machine. I'm opening a can of worms.

     

    Otherwise, items are designed and constructed from others patented product all the time. If I use a Netgear router in a wigit I make, I haven't violated any patent. It's still a router and doing what it was designed to do.

     

    Good luck,
