Major Change Ahead For Bluetooth

28 March 2006 by axxxr
Bluetooth (SIG) today announced the next version of Bluetooth will see some big changes.

The Bluetooth SIG today announced its selection of the WiMedia Alliance multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing version of ultra-wideband (UWB) for integration with current Bluetooth wireless technology, thus taking the next step in its plan to create a version of the globally popular Bluetooth wireless technology with a high speed/high data rate option.This new version of Bluetooth technology will meet the high-speed demands of synchronizing and transferring large amounts of data as well as enabling high quality video and audio applications for portable devices, multi-media projectors and television sets. At the same time, Bluetooth technology will continue catering to the needs of very low power applications such as mice, keyboards and mono headsets, enabling devices to select the most appropriate physical radio for the application requirements,thereby offering the best of both worlds. www.bluetooth.com

Cool!

I Guess the range on the new blurtooth would be much better and they could stream media as well :)
Blue tooth is good, but the current bluetooth needs to speed up a lot.. It can get pretty frustrating while transfering a big file.
