I remember the first time I saw someone wearing a bluetooth earpiece. I thought it was a new type of hearing aid. Then I noticed this person was talking to the wind, typical mobile phone behaviour. So I put two and two together and then headed down to my favorite elelctronics shop to see what I had been missing. Of course, I came home with two units, just for fun! These things really earn their keep when you become hands-free while on the cellular phone in the car.
It seems we are always hearing about a new application for bluetooth technology. Besides a headset that communicates with a mobile phone in your pocket, bluetooth is being used to transmit information between a computer and a printer, from a mobile phone to a printer, and even a printer to a printer. The low cost of a Bluetooth chip (~$5), and its low power consumption, means they could be placed nearly everywhere.
What is your favorite bluetooth application? I would have a hard time choosing between my bluetooth cellular phone and my bluetooth GPS receiver.
