Now you can transfer an entire music album or an entire DVD from your PC to your phone in seconds wirelessly, yes Bluetooth Special Interest group is all set to announce Bluetooth 3.0 specification on April 21, though there are no details of the bluetooth 3.0 ready devices, rumors are that the Bluetooth SIG will release a list of manufacturers that have products ready with the launch.
So what exactly is Bluetooth 3.0 ?
Bluetooth 3.0 is the new version of the Bluetooth standard and reportedly is 160 times faster than the earlier version Bluetooth 2.1 with file transfer rates at 480 Megabit per second in close proximity and 100 megabits per second at 10 meters.
The drastical improvement in the throughput is achieved by using 802.11 technology,not technically Wifi but reportedly the advancement in the standard allows the Bluetooth wireless frequency to piggyback on the Wi-Fi, allowing Bluetooth over Wi-Fi.
This is actually implemented by using two compatible Bluetooth modules that coordinate a switch to 802.11 to move bulk files and once the file transfer is complete, the device coordinate a switch back to the slower and backwards compatible 3 Mbps rate.
What are we going to see?
The blazing fast data speed of the improved standard can be used for a slew of applications including Video streaming from camcorders to TV sets and Computers, Computers and TV’s to Mobile phones, Wireless streaming of presentation from laptops to projectors and many more.
Apart from the streaming between consumer devices, I am really excited to see how Mobile social networking and Bluetooth based mobile advertising is going to shape up. With throughput’s comparable to Wifi these business can do some really awesome stuff with Bluetooth 3.0.
