CommunicAsia Top 3 - Bluetooth
The final area of interest for me at the CommunicAsia show was all about Bluetooth. It's no secret that I'm a BlueTooth (BT) believer. But at the show, the wealth of new BT products might make a believer out of anyone. There were incredible numbers of different headsets, of course, and scads of BT-enabled phones. But there were interesting new devices, such as one from GN Netcom (owned by Jabra). A GN product plugged into a home RJ-11 jack, and the phone was plugged into it. It then functioned as a BT base for a wireless headset in the home or office, but the neat thing is that the earpiece could intelligently roam from the home base to the mobile phone, depending on what is in proximity. I like the ability to use the headset both mobile and in a fixed location.
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.
