Microsoft's next mobile OS goes Bluetooth
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft's next-generation operating system for mobile devices has passed a crucial test for Bluetooth compatibility, the software giant said Tuesday. The qualification of Windows CE .Net through the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) involves extensive testing with existing Bluetooth products, as well as examination of the software. Bluetooth is a short-range radio technology that allows portable devices, such as personal digital assistants, cell phones and notebooks, to communicate within 30 feet of one another without wires. Windows CE .Net, code-named Talisker, will be the next release of the Windows CE operating system for mobile devices.
