Well, my whole philosophy with that is, maybe I was wrong, but bluetooth still sucks. I could admit I was wrong, yet bluetooth would still suck. |
Ah - but you are wrong on that too. Currently I have 7 BT enabled devices on the go - every one of them from a different company. They all pair easily, are simple to use and work togther well. Your poor assessment of BT seems largely based on using products that have BT implemented badly - and you just can't judge the whole tech on that basis (especially as whatever eventually replaces it will have just the same problem).
The jury isn't out. They heard the evidence from thousands of satisfied users (and you too can go back and read countless examples of such evidence in every one of your 'BT is dead' threads) and returned a verdict of 'alive and thriving' some time ago. Indeed - BT continues to go from strength to strength - sales are up and up, BT 2.0 products are starting to appear (completely backwards compatible), many companies with poor implementaion records have cleaned up their acts (others are being pushed hard by the BT org), comparative reviews of such things as BT headsets now focus on things like sound quality and not BT performance...
I predict that far from dying any tome soon - BT will see off potential successors for a while (yes - even the 'troubled' W-USB) as nothing else has the maturity and product reach.
I'm amazed that technically literate people with PDAs and mobile phones actually get by without BT...! I know I would feel handicapped without it...
Now - saying Palm is the walking dead - there you'll get no argument. I don't like it mind (MS need the competition) but the evidence is overwhelming...!
