I came across this and wondered about other military uses of this technology?

First off, let me say I'm glad that help like this is available to those who has sacrificed so much.

Could this tech be used to make power armored suits?

…throw in a little Skynet thanks to the British and eventually we have terminators :)

I just checked Wal-Mart, they don't have them in stock yet.

I assume you meen BLUETOOTH not Blackberry, cause I'd find it morbidly funny when the blackberry's bluetooth has compatability issues with the prosthetic…

I'd want to use a part of the spectrum not in common use. For instance, I was listening to my Bluetooth headphones one time when a new SUV rolled by and my signal squelched. I'm assuming they had some sort of Bluetooth handsfree thingy in their auto. I'd hate for the same thing to happen to someone's legs.

Wouldn't powered armour legs be contiguous anyway? Much need for wireless transmisson?

If they are separated by an organic hip, then yes.
