No, "blued" is, I presume, short for "bluetooth daemon". In any case it 
is definitely bluetooth related. Look at the root preferences file for 
it, here:

     /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist

NOTE: not to get too unixy, but the privileges for this file are such 
that only root can read it, so in order to view it you'll have to 
prepend your viewing/editing command with "sudo" such as this (in the 
Terminal):

    sudo more /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist

You have to be an admin to use the sudo command. Anyway, "bluetooth" is 
all over the place in there.

When you kill blued, it immediately starts again, but the problem is 
gone until after the next sync. What I think is happening is that one 
side or the other is not closing the connection properly and so it 
stays around. When you kill blued, I believe you kill the leftover 
connection and that makes the Palm happy until after the next sync, 
when the connection gets left open again.
