Picture this. You keep a note of what groceries are you need by entering them in your Bluetooth enabled refrigerator. When it comes time to shop, you simply synchronize the list with your PDA so that you don't forget to pick anything up. Sounds too Star Trek to be real? This is not a scene out of a sci-fi science fiction, but some of the endless array of possibilities that the Bluetooth technology offers. Welcome to the wireless world of Bluetooth!
Not so long ago, the computer used to be a standalone unit and we were all happy to do word processing, play a few games and surf the internet. Over a period of time, more and more electronics started coming into the picture and the once simple-to-use devices like cameras, telephones, stereos and televisions all became more intelligent and sophisticated with computer chips embedded inside them. New age devices such as mobile phones and PDA's also appeared. Instead of making life easier, managing these devices and the increasing number of cables and wires to connect them has left most of us frustrated. In order to keep things user-friendly, we needed a better way for all the devices to communicate and work with each other. This is where Bluetooth came into the picture.
What is Bluetooth Technology?
Bluetooth technology is a cutting-edge open specification that enables short-range wireless connections between desktop and notebook computers, personal digital assistants, handhelds, mobile phones, camera phones, printers, digital cameras, headsets, keyboards and even a computer mouse. Bluetooth wireless technology is intended to replace the cables connecting portable and fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. This wireless technology uses a globally available frequency band (2.4GHz) for worldwide compatibility. In a nutshell, Bluetooth technology unplugs your digital peripherals and makes cable clutter a thing of the past.
Bluetooth technology has achieved such global acceptance that any Bluetooth enabled device, almost anywhere in the world, can connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices in proximity (within a 30-foot range).
Bluetooth wireless technology has become the choice of many across the globe for convenient, wire-free, short-range communication between devices. This globally available standard that wirelessly connects mobile phones, portable computers, cars, stereo headsets, MP3 players, and more has become quite a rage since it was first introduced in the year 1998.
The Bluetooth Advantage
The biggest draws with Bluetooth are that it is wireless, inexpensive and automatic. A Bluetooth connection is not only wireless and automatic, but also has a number of interesting features that can simplify our daily lives as it has the ability to simultaneously handle both data and voice transmissions.
Where Could Bluetooth Wireless Technology Fit into Your Life?
Setting up a conversation between multiple devices often means a large array of cables, connectors and adapters. In order to make home electronics more user friendly, we need a better way for all the electronic parts of our modern life to talk to each other. Bluetooth does this you. You can connect everything wirelessly from computers and mobile phones to keyboards and headphones. This is what all you can do with the Bluetooth Technology:
At Work
You can share data between all your devices with Bluetooth. Synchronize appointments, clients' contact information and more between your computer and handheld. When you are at a meeting you can send data to everyone with a Bluetooth enabled device at once instead of having to send it to one person at a time.
If you require a hardcopy of a letter you can print it out on a Bluetooth-enabled printer. Unlike regular printers the Bluetooth printer can easily be networked and does not require additional hardware such as a print server or router with a printer port nor does it require any confusing configuration. You can print out a backup list of all the numbers stored in your mobile phone simply by moving the phone into range of the printer.
At Home
If you have a wireless keyboard and mouse for your computer, you may be using Bluetooth already. Unlike conventional wireless radio wave keyboards, Bluetooth enabled versions can communicate with other Bluetooth devices as well. By using a single Bluetooth wireless hub, it reduces desktop clutter.
You can also do common household chores such as cooking or laundry without having to stop to answer a call if you have a Bluetooth earphone and microphone headset.
Bluetooth in Motion
If you enjoy listening to music on a personal stereo, imagine how convenient it would be to not have wired headphones. You can store the player in your backpack and the remote control in your pocket. No need to worry about the twisting of wires because there are no wires when Bluetooth is on the job. If your phone rings while listening, take the call on the headset. The phone can automatically tell your stereo to pause while you answer the call. You don't need to fumble around with different gadgets because they can all work in unison with Bluetooth.
Talk on your mobile phone while driving safely with a wireless Bluetooth headset. Popular mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia, Motorola and Sony-Ericsson all have models which are Bluetooth enabled. Bluetooth can also be integrated to your car stereo, allowing you to answer calls through the stereo system.
Bluetooth at Play
With Bluetooth, you can link your digital camcorder or digital camera wirelessly to both your television and computer. Instantly play back movies or view pictures without the need for cables. In case you wish to do a bit of editing, you can transfer the movies and photographs to the computer via Bluetooth.
