Where is Bluetooth?, Part II
Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 07:00 AM
One of the things cited in Ed's post last week was Bluetooth's difficulty getting off the ground. David Shier, who runs the BluetoothNews site, talks about one non-consumer application that may serve as a useful launching pad for Bluetooth - industrial automation.
In several ways, such a commercial environment makes a lot of sense. Apart from us early adopters, mass consumer adoption of Bluetooth will only happen when it's cheap. Many applications have been developed and made more cost-effective in commercial/industrial arenas and then "handed down" to the consumer market, and Bluetooth might become one of these.
