Where is BlueTooth, Now?

Today I was wondering what is going on with BlueTooth. BlueTooth, a standard that allows electronic devices that are within 30 feet of each other to communicate, was developed in 1998 and is backed by a Who’s Who of tech giants including Intel and Ericsson. The technology is just now showing up as an add-on for laptop computers and in a few high-end cell phones. After doing a few searches, I found that BlueTooth has made it way into a few areas of electronics. As a matter of fact, BlueTooth is touching nearly all areas of electronics, such as,

• access point

• audio and visual
• automotive
• component
• handheld
• headset
• home environment
• keyboard and mouse
• mobile phone
• office equipment
• personal printer
• service and tools
• and other unique products

If you would like to read more about BlueTooth, I found a “blogSite” that can give you plenty of info, called The Bluetooth Weblog.

One product has become quite interesting to me and that is the JABRA FreeSpeak Wireless Headset and Multi-adapter for Non-Bluetooth Phones. I have been trying to get into the habit of using my earbud connector while driving. I feel it is a lot safer driving and talking on the phone with the earbud, but the wire finds its way everywhere I don’t want it to be. For this reason, the earbud is only used in the car. Now, if I had a wireless setup for my phone, I would be sure to use it as often as possible. In comes JABRA’s FreeSpeak Wireless Headset. The Headset gives you the benefit of BlueTooth technology for the cellphones that are not BlueTooth ready. Frankly, this looks like an excellent solution. Check out it’s specs.
