Not a real problem. You can install a USB to Bluetooth dongle, but some
places will probably restrict you from usin bluetooth.

Yes.

No. You could add an IR USB dongle. :-)

At this point the plan is to come to market with a low function version
of the devices. Dos games, (relatively) slow processor, cheap screen,
no wifi, IR, bluetooth. Still expandable but not feature creep'ed to
$500 a unit. :-)

As the market matures, features and software support will be added.
