Hi,

I find Bluetooth amazing, and I am sure that it will be incorporated in many
of the new electronic things to come.

However I was wondering, what exactly will it be in?

Will I be able top buy Bluetooth headphones for my Discman?

Will I be able to buy a complete Bluetooth desktop? (monitor; printer;
speakers; webcam; mouse; keyboard)

And how long will it be until these gadgets come around, and are available
to a normal home computer user like myself?

Any ideas?

Danny

May be.

No.

Yes, already available.

> speakers;

Maybe, but you will need to compress the audio stream. For an example
look at http://www.bluemp3.de/ (partially in German).

> webcam;

Probably no. Current webcams tend to have problems with USB's bandwidth
(up to 12 MBit/s) and thus need compression. Bluetooth supports only up
to 723 kBit/s (per piconet).

> mouse; keyboard)

Yes, already available from Logitech, Apple and Microsoft (and probably
others).

Is Bluetooth as fast as it will ever be, then? Is there no reason to
except a Bluetooth 2 or such?

On its way - with faster initialisation - thank God.

Look under Bluetooth 1.2. Someone else may know of more accessible info
on the actual differences. I don't think b/w will increase but channel
bonding may do it at some point in the future.

Bluetooth 1.2 does not give greater bandwidth.

1.2 enhancements are:
ESCO for better speach quality
Quicker connect - should be twice as fast
Adqaptive frequency Hopping
and Some flow control stuff in L2CAP
