Happy Birthday Bluetooth : "Long May Ye Run"
February 05, 2008
Belatedly, I must wish Bluetooth and the SIG a very Happy 10th Birthday.
I think that the SIG has been playing a stormer recently, in terms of growing brand awareness for Bluetooth, integrating other cool short range wireless standards, and simplifying life for users. The future for Bluetooth looks very, very bright indeed!
- 1.8 Billion devices shipped to date
- 500 Million Bluetooth enabled phones shipped last year
- All main game consoles now ship with Bluetooth
- New product categories emerging in Industrial, Healthcare, Automotive by the week
"Long May Ye Run"
As part of the celebrates at CES, the SIG announced their winners of the Best of CES a while back at the CES show. My favourite is definitely the Parrot Wireless Speakers (review here) - the Parrot products generally rock, and I never appreciated how tricky it is to do this well, until I attended some of the talks at the Bluetooth Evolution Conference back in late '07.
