"Nokia has developed a new, short-range wireless technology that it says could improve on some of the shortcomings of Bluetooth...The technology could compete with Bluetooth in the workplace as a way to link keyboards and other peripherals to computers. But it could also have more interesting applications for consumers, in devices such as wrist watches, toys, and sports equipment."
Oh goodie. Another wireless initiative, this time by a single vendor. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to replace bluetooth. It is such a spectacular technology, and its name has become synonymous with bliss and trouble free operation. :roll:
