Is Bluetooth Dead On Arrival?
from the popular-question dept
Last week we posted an article that suggested Bluetooth had no future as a wireless connection standard, and it appears to be a popular topic, because the NY Times has also decided to write their own version of such an article (admittedly, only for those of you who aren't afraid of the scary "registration" process). The NY Times article is a little more diplomatic in discussing both sides of the issue (as opposed to just declaring Bluetooth dead). Personally, I think that people are spending too much time thinking about this. Consumers don't care about Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. They just want something that works well and is easy to use.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
