The areas included information about BluejackQ, Reviews of mobile phones, media players, PDA's and Miscellaneous devices, General Bluejacking threads and an off-topic area.

[edit] The podcast

The BluejackQ podcast was first released as a test version on January 15, 2006, thus becoming the first bluejacking related podcast. Podcasts 1, 2 and 3 feautured three members of the forums. The podcasts have been criticised for being too random and having very little to do with bluejacking, but the podcast team and other forum members have said that it represents what bluejacking is about, fun.

Recently, one member of the three podcasters has left BluejackQ after an argument involving two moderators. The member, with two other members has set up a technology site. Gizmotech (See external links). It is certain that another podcast will go ahead in the near future.
