Bluetooth 4.0 devices could show up in Q4 2010
The first Bluetooth 3.0 devices (here and here) have just shown up on market and manufacturers are gathering their gear for the next step in bluetooth technology: the 4.0 updated version of the standard. Bluetooth 4.0 is a mere upgrade that brings a new low power more for transmitting small bursts of data (for updating link status and the like). Also Bluetooth 4.0 is the first wireless standard that can work with gadgets powered by small watch batteries, as till now you would need at least an AAA battery to just thinking of going wire free on a device.
According to Bluetooth SIG’s Executive Director, Michael Foley, the first Bluetooth 4.0 devices could hit market this year, later in Q4. What can be said more is we welcome this devices but wonder if it wasn’t a better idea to try and update the standard to include some sort of streaming quality upgrades that would benefit bluetooth headsets and stereo headsets for audiophiles, plus maybe some sort of noise cancellation implemented directly on the Bluetooth chip. Buy maybe we’ll see all those in Bluetooth 5.0, right?
Bluetooth 4.0 is just around the corner
