Bluetooth to Outship Wi-Fi Five to One
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 10:00 AM
"Bluetooth will become the dominant wireless technology, building market share by stealth as the Wi-Fi hotspot bubble bursts, market watcher Forrester Research has forecast. It's undoubtedly a contentious claim. Wi-Fi is being backed by some of the IT industry's biggest names - Intel, Apple, Cisco et al - not to mention a host of new and established service providers - BT, T-Mobile, The Cloud etc. - keen to tap into a perceived demand for high speed data access on the move. Bluetooth, by contrast, has largely failed to grab the public's attention as a 'must have' and has widely been dismissed as a technology set to be out-evolved by ubiquitous Wi-Fi in the home and the office."
Interesting - so far, in my world at least, WiFi outstrips Bluetooth by quite a bit, but Bluetooth is gaining ground. What's it like in your world?
