Continuity in OS X and iOS

[Dryland]

Does anyone know if this feature requires Bluetooth 4.0 or if it works over wifi? I don't remember any mention in the keynote.

Or does it require a certain hardware level to work... I'm not able to make it work...

I am not 100% sure that it’s even in the current build of OS X and iOS 8.

Here's the answer

Yosemite 'Handoff' Feature Likely Limited to Macs with Bluetooth LE - Mac Rumors

And it's time to upgrade...

Plus limited to iOS devices with Bluetooth LE which means the iPad 2 won't get handoff also

Agreed. I have all reasonably new hardware, 5S and 2012 rMBP and I haven't noticed that feature working yet.

Do you notice the handoff settings in the settings preferences? Also, have you setup Facetime and iMessages on the Mac?
