Bluetooth Gaining  ( on technology)

My friend uses the bluetooth feature of his cell phone to find " connections" in bars, and make friends. Another use it to listen music, while a couple uses it to power their cell phone earpiece. I use it to transfer files between my devices and my wife's. I visited a couple of conference rooms that now use bluetooth for their wireless keyboards and mouse in order to enable the presentor to move about while doing presentations. Many car makers have introduced it as a standard feature.

Bluetooth, named after a Danish prince, was introduced 10 years ago. Initially overhyped, it was starting to falter. But this year, according to Business 2.0 magazine Oct 2004, over 1400 products will incorporate blue tooth this year. It is estimated that shipment of Bluetooth semiconductors was 69 million in 2003 and will reach 700 million in 2004. In money terms, that is a market size of $163 million in 2004 to $1.7 billion by the year 2008.

After reading that blue lasers will enable the future DVD players to store even more data, it seems blue, my favorite color, will be coming on strong.
