Bluetooth is dead

edited February 2004 in Science & Tech
It seems Intel are giving up on Bluetooth. After years of supporting the technology, it seems the chipmaker has had enough of waiting for it to be fully embraced. Instead Intel plans to offer their own derivative called Wireless USB.

[blockquote]At the Intel Developer Forum on Wednesday Intel announced the company was giving up on the deadlocked Ultrawideband IEEE task group and going it alone with a derivative offering they are calling Wireless USB. This initiative, for them, does everything that Bluetooth does and, effectively means that for PCs Bluetooth is all but dead.[/blockquote]
