Is Next Year Finally Here For Bluetooth?
Ever since Bluetooth was first announced people have called it dead on arrival or thought that maybe it would take off "next year". Now, some are finally beginning to wonder if this year is "next year" for Bluetooth. Like many good technologies, Bluetooth has survived its share of overhype that caused many to write it off way too early. That's letting it sneak its way into plenty of useful applications, such that many people will start using Bluetooth without realizing exactly what they're doing.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.
