Hot Wireless Technology Innovations: Bluetooth
Although the word "Bluetooth" first came from the lips of a Dane who lived back in the 10th Century, Bluetooth today represents a technology of the 21st Century. It is a technology that permits 2-way, wireless transmissions over short distances. The many present-day devices with Bluetooth technology have led to the creation of some hot wireless innovations.
Within the past week, the CSR Corporation has announced the release of Xda Atom, a device that brings Bluetooth technology to the PDA. CSR has created the world's smallest, multimedia PDA phone. In order to fully appreciate the Xda, one needs to consider the number of times each day that one might look at some type of illuminated screen.
When one selects the music to be played on an iPod , one views information displayed on a screen. When one watches a TV program or a DVD one views a picture on a screen. And even when one wants to select a digital photo to send to a friend or relative, then one needs to view the available photos on a screen.
If you can imagine a device that puts music, video and photo functions on one small screen, then you can appreciate the beauty of the Bluetooth technology. The Xda Atom allows the immediate user to use a single, small screen for selecting their favorite music, viewing video and performing various photo functions. The Xda also allows the user to connect with his or her list of e-mail messages.
The Xda holds a spotlight on the ability of the Bluetooth technology to let the business traveler set-up an office space at almost any location. No more does an airport-delay need to prevent the business traveler from completing work that has been assigned. Of course, the Bluetooth technology does not insure the same quiet and privacy that one finds in a personal office.
Perhaps the innovations provided by Bluetooth technology offer the greatest benefits to the most constantly mobile members of modern-day society. TEN Technology seems agree with that suggestion. That company recently released an item called naviPlay Bluetooth technology for iPods. This Headset can interact with other Bluetooth devices.

The naviPlay operates in the same fashion as just about all of the Bluetooth devices. The user of the naviPlay clicks an adapter into a docking system and then plugs a cable into the back of the naviPlay. In this case the docking system that connects with the wireless device is an iPod docking system. The naviPlay allows users to get cell phone calls through the same systems that store and deliver musical selections.
The naviPlay offers two important features, features never-before found on a Bluetooth device. The naviPlay fits over the head, making it much easier to carry. In addition it weighs only 4 ounces, so that a minimum of weight rests on the head. The naviPlay underlines the degree to which Bluetooth technology has met the challenges posed by the demands of wireless innovations.
The ability of Bluetooth to overcome the obstacles that have until now prevented a widespread use of its Personal Area Network (PAN) bodes well for its proliferation into other areas of the business world. While it may be difficult to write a business letter in a busy airport terminal, the Bluetooth technology does not need to target only the business traveler and the music-loving young adult. It could also offer important medical applications.
The advantages of Bluetooth could allow a worker in a medical laboratory to operate more efficiently. Armed with the right Bluetooth technology, such a worker would have the ability to start a centrifuge and to walk-off to a desk or another bench top area. There the worker could write in a lab notebook or set-up for a planned experiment, all without worrying to check on when the centrifuge had stopped spinning. The Bluetooth device could signal to the worker that the centrifuge had stopped revolving.
That same Bluetooth device could be used by the laboratory supervisor to send instructions to the lab worker. The lab worker could then respond to the supervisor without leaving the lab space in which that lab worker could be most productive. That is the beauty of the Bluetooth technology.
