Bluetooth And The Common Motherboard
Just say no to Apple writes "Computers seem to be on the precipice of a new chapter with things like Serial ATA and now bluetooth showing up as standard equipment. Of course the bluetooth kit that comes with this board is really tiny, which makes me wonder if you might be able to integrate it into a small remote device... But anyway, if a computer upgrade is on the horizon, have a look at this Epox board review and the bluetooth gear it uses."
Sounds cool.. can't wait for these to show up.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if I remember the guys at Ericsson correctly, the point of bluetooth is that it can be put into almost any piece of electronic gadget, being really small and all. Hence it should appear in just about anything you can imagine.
The problem is that it should have appeared many years ago, I have no real clue on why it has taken such an enormous amount of time to get it to market in anything interesting.

bluetooth has always been about low power
this meassn that it can be put into phones
and washing machines, fridges, microwaves and of course keyboards, mice and microphones/speakers
Microsoft next keyboards are to be wireless and bluetooth
bluetooth is about short range low power 802.11b is about high power, long range and high bandwidth
bluetooth is pretty sweet its really the software that holding things back because their are lots of devices now
it terms of volume more bluetooth devices are made each day than 802.11b in a year
(pinch of salt bluetooth sig no. but a good idea about the volume)

It wasn't until Version 1.1 when people had stable Radio's and Stable protocol working! Other smaller companies are struggling to get their implimentation of bluetooth working. BTW. BlueCore02 from CSR is a very good Bluetooth device.

As time goes by, more and more ports/connectors add up on my motherboards. When are we going to get ride of ps/2 buses, parallels and serial ports?
So now we would have:
bluetooth
parallel port
serial ports
Serial IDE
Parallel IDE
Firewire
ps2 buses
USB
-- Next ones are not on motherboards, but still...---
Analog joystick port (gameport)
VGA output
Audio ports
Ethernet
Am I missing a port? Keeping legacy ports does add cost on the systems...
I wish we could go by with firewire only. Everything on firewire. HDs, modem, joystick, keyboard... Only analog output like Video and Audio would remain. BTW, most motherboards do not come with Firewire on, but I bet there must be a few out there with it.

If you're in the market for a new AMD motherboard, perhaps you should wait and see how the new VIA KT400
Well some of these boards have been tested. According to this article [tomshardware.com] on Toms Hardware [tomshardware.com] the KT400 boards aren't worth it. Interesting benchmarks, that is for sure.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if I remember the guys at Ericsson correctly, the point of bluetooth is that it can be put into almost any piece of electronic gadget, being really small and all. Hence it should appear in just about anything you can imagine.
The problem is that it should have appeared many years ago, I have no real clue on why it has taken such an enormous amount of time to get it to market in anything interesting.

'no real clue on why' I susspect patents and licensing agreements are preventing blue tooth from taking off.
IR probably costs 1cent per transmiting device if that.

r if you might be able to integrate it into a small remote device... But anyway, if a computer upgrade is on the horizon, have a look at this Epox board review and the bluetooth gear it uses."

This'd be great, ALL you need to do is get some standards agreed and from then on you'd only need 1 remote for you PC. I could cat / dev/bluetooth/ remote and microsoft could DirectRemote it.
Now anyone know how to get the TV and Sound card manufactures to agree on a standard?
