Faster and smarter Bluetooth 3.0 in the ranks
Posted By: Atul Roach | Apr 10 2009
The unconvinced Bluetooth 2.0 users who normally seek higher speed for file transfers can finally afford to smile, for the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced the upgrade 3.0 launch on April 21. We can now transfer videos and audio folders quickly with the new format using the certified 802.11 standards, eliminating the need of Wi-Fi for bigger file transfers. Instead of Wi-Fi, 3.0 would use two compatible Bluetooth modules which would work in tandem to flip to the 802.11 mode and then back again to a slower option. It may crank up the battery a little bit more, but the bottom line is that faster transfers are more pleasing than the annoying hankering beeper.
