Double amputee, Joshua Bleill, walks again due to Bluetooth: Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Bleill, who lost both his legs while on patrol in Iraq, is walking again with the aid of prosthetics outfitted with Bluetooth.[photo link]

Computer chips in each leg send signals to motors in the artificial joints so the knees and ankles move in a coordinated fashion. Bleill's set of prosthetics have Bluetooth receivers strapped to the ankle area. The Bluetooth device on each leg tells the other leg what it's doing, how it's moving, whether walking, standing or climbing steps, for example.
