With Bluetooth finally becoming a popular reality in many laptop computers and many more cellular phones, is Bluetooth on the verge of becoming a ubiquitous wireless technology like USB is to the personal computer world? The proponents of wireless USB don't want that to happen. But, then again, Bluetooth has a great lead and the adoption is already there.With the older serial and parallel ports now all but gone from most PCs, the USB connection has replaced it for interconnecting almost anything to a PC. While FireWire is still great for fast transfer of digital data, peripheral interconnection is still held greatly by USB. However, there are still way too many cables anymore. Which wireless standard could win out here for getting rid of the cable mess? Bluetooth or wireless USB?
1. I think that Bluetooth is the way of the future. Many companies are spending lots of money researching ways to expand the usage as well as make data transfer quicker with Bluetooth. The only concern I have with Bluetooth Technology is compatibility issues. It seems that many devices which have bluetooth dont seem to always work well with one another. One example would be my Xda Exec (Windows Mobile Device) and my colleagues Blackberries.
