We’ve told you about Bluetooth 4.0 quite a few times here, but now it’s time to take things ‘officially’, as Bluetooth SIG, the consortium that deals with this standard’s specs has announced that the final specs for Bluetooth 4.0 are finalized. As we’ve mentioned ...
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 o...
We already wrote something about Bluetooth 3.0 standard a few months ago when the standard was announced, now it’s time to see the first products hit the market. Samsung was the first to put Bluetooth 3.0 in a phone with GT-S8500 and Asus is the first one to get it into a portable: the EEE [.....
Even if not many Bluetooth 3.0 devices (if any) have hit market, Bluetooth SIG has finalized the specs for the next generation Bluetooth 4.0 devices, which focus more on the low power consumption (which we’ve talked previously) mode then on performance or range. As I read the news it become cl...
The key to miniaturization of gadgets is to stuck more functions on the same chip. This way size getting smaller and power consumption too, as there’s less waste current traveling between chips on the PCB. Ralink is one manufacturer that managed to get Bluetooth 3.0+HS and WiFi 802.11n functio...
All bluetooth technologies seem nice, but all come with a dezastrous consequence on a mobile device: they shorten battery life. Texas Instruments addressed this problem with a bluetooth chip prototype that’s supposed to last for over a year without recharging, using only a regular watch batter...
Bluetooth, like any other technology evolves and new versions get to market one after another. The newest announced Bluetooth version is Bluetooth 3.0 + HS, which was adopted in April 2009 by Bluetooth SIG and is expected to appear soon in consumer products. The Bluetooth 3.0 +HS brings a lot of imp...
Have you ever stopped and thought about how a bluetooth headset connection is established between two devices ? Well, I did and thought of sharing this info with you after I’ve done a little research on Internet: first multiple devices with enabled bluetooth chips are required a bluetooth sear...
I don’t know if you know, but if two devices have Bluetooth technology it doesn’t mean they’ll be able to communicate between them. In order for this to be possible both devices must have compatible Bluetooth technology versions and to have installed the same Bluetooth profiles tha...
We all heard about Bluetooth, but few people know what Bluetooth technology really is. That’s why we believe it’s important to understand it before we use it. Bluetooth is a short range wireless communication protocol between fixed and mobile devices. It’s seen as a replacement to ...
