Is Bluetooth Dead?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday October 15, 2003 @09:28AM from the stopgap-on-the-way-to-wireless-networking dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to the EETimes, Bluetooth is dead. From the article: "In a few short years, many will look back on Bluetooth as a lesson on marketing gone awry". So what do ya'll think? Does he have a point, or is Bluetooth not quite dead yet?"

You mean Apple can leverage their hardware monopoly by forcing features that users don't want or need. Where PC manufacturers compete for business and to lower costs they don't include things people don't want (since there is a rich aftermarket industry for PCs).
