How Microsoft is embracing Bluetooth
ZDNet | at | by Mike
Microsoft is out with a new Bluetooth-enabled keyboard and mouse, designed to cut the cable that currently links most PCs to their peripherals. Wireless mice and keyboards are nothing new. Bluetooth peripherals, however, are new, and their appearance shows that Microsoft is once again willing to invest early in technologies it wants to popularize.
Bluetooth, as you probably know, is a radio technology intended for short-range (less than 30 feet) communication between devices. Today, you can buy Bluetooth-enabled PDAs, printers, and cell phones; I've already tried samples of each. You can also add Bluetooth connectivity to your Windows desktop or notebook computer. Mac OS X also supports Bluetooth, but doesn't yet know how to use it for printing.
