Windows Phone Thoughts: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Standard Abandoned; Bluetooth SIG Unfazed

For those of you who don't know, the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) had planned on adopting the forthcoming Ultra-Wideband "standard" in order to bump up their data transmission speeds from the currently paltry 768Kbps into the Ethernet-like 100-200Mbps range. Well it appears that the white flag has been waived regarding the standard as there were just too many agendas between vested parties (any of you surprised?). This doesn't appear to be a big deal to the Bluetooth SIG though. They'll just wait and decide for themselves what is the best standard from the variety of different UWB flavors that are sure to hit the market.

...and the beat goes on! :|
