Bluetooth Future???

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.bluetooth (More info?)

Hi,

I find Bluetooth amazing, and I am sure that it will be incorporated in many
of the new electronic things to come.

However I was wondering, what exactly will it be in?

Will I be able top buy Bluetooth headphones for my Discman?

Will I be able to buy a complete Bluetooth desktop? (monitor; printer;
speakers; webcam; mouse; keyboard)

And how long will it be until these gadgets come around, and are available
to a normal home computer user like myself?

Any ideas?

Danny

On its way - with faster initialisation - thank God.

Look under Bluetooth 1.2. Someone else may know of more accessible info
on the actual differences. I don't think b/w will increase but channel
bonding may do it at some point in the future.
