Honest 836 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Bluetooth 2.2 To Be Introduced In 09 Bluetooth is all set to get a much needed upgrade, in 2009. This was announced by the Bluetooth standard body called "Bluetooth Special Interest Group", which plans to introduce two new Bluetooth standards called 10x and 100x by the middle of 09. These new formats will simply be called Bluetooth 2.2 and promise significant speed jumps. The new high-speed Bluetooth standards, will work in conjunctions with WLAN or USB to offer vastly improved speeds. Given the fact that current Bluetooth 2.0 maxes out at 3 MB, a 10x jump will translate to a theoretical maximum of 30 MB and 100x would mean a speed of 300 MB. This is a fairly huge jump and it will be interesting to watch which standard can make the transition first. Given the fact that most handsets now have Wi-fi, the 10x standard will probably find more widescreen acceptance with 100x BT being relegated to notebooks and desktop use.

Honest 836 Report post Posted December 10, 2008 Bluetooth 2.2 Out, New Version Could be 3.0 It was just last week that word was out on the next Bluetooth upgrade to hit the market in 2009 – Bluetooth 2.2. However, according to the latest reports form the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, that’s not accurate anymore. The next version will probably be 3.0. Support features will still remain the same though with provision for obviously faster connectivity to other Bluetooth enabled devices and of course, an increase in speed of transfers. We’ll have to wait for an official announcement though so stay tuned. Courtesy : Tech2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
